Wir waren so verliebt
1974, 2h 4min -
This beloved classic of commedia all’italiana is a beautifully bittersweet tale of friendship, nostalgia, and cinema. Over the course of thirty years, we follow the lives of three friends—Antonio (Nino Manfredi), Gianni (Vittorio Gassman), and Nicola (Stefano Satta Flores)—who go from fighting the Nazis together during World War II to experiencing the full spectrum of life’s joys and disappointments as they see their once-strong bond tested by love, politics, and time. Studded with allusions to Italian film history—including a cameo from Federico Fellini and Marcello Mastroianni recreating the famed Trevi Fountain sequence from LA DOLCE VITA—WE ALL LOVED EACH OTHER SO MUCH is a film as rich in humor and melancholy as life itself.
