Madly

Piero and Lara meet for a first date. The lights in her apartment are soft, the food is good, the wine flows—but they’re not alone. Also present are the voices in their heads: ego, anxieties, ambitions, and emotions. Can they silence the noise long enough to make a real connection? Paolo Genovese, the mind behind the smash hit Perfect Strangers, returns with another clever, single-location concept. With a sharp script, impeccable timing, a strong ensemble cast, and the familiar mix of tension and humor that comes with a first date, he delivers a charming romantic comedy that’s already a big hit in Italy—and is bound to win hearts elsewhere too.
