Carlobianchi (Sergio Romano) and Doriano (Pierpaolo Capovilla), two broke fiftysomethings with a “never skip the last drink” philosophy, meet Giulio (Filippo Scotti), a shy architecture student adrift in life. What starts as a chance encounter turns into a chaotic road trip through the Venetian plains — where bad advice, hangovers, and unexpected friendship redraw Giulio’s plans for life and love

Loosely pulling from their own experiences, co-writers Francesco Sossai and Adriano Candiago brilliantly revive the beloved Commedia all’italiana style. Inspired by filmmakers like Marco Ferreri, Elio Petri, Francesco Rosi, and Carlo Lizzani, The Last One for the Road is an homage to special places that live in our memories — bars and streets from our youth, now demolished to make way for new development — and a call to redraw our inner maps.

Thanks to Bulldog for this preview. The Last One for the Road is released on 10 Jul.
