Andiamo a bere l'ultima

Italian film about friendship and late nights

In Andiamo a bere l'ultima — Italian for 'let's have one last drink' — you follow two men in their fifties on a road trip through the Italian countryside. Carlobianchi and Doriano are waiting for a friend returning from Argentina. Together with a young student, they set out. What begins as a simple waiting period grows into a night of great stories and loosened tongues.

Atmosphere of late hours on 16mm

Director Francesco Sossai consciously chose 16mm film. This gives Andiamo a bere l'ultima a grainy, warm image that fits the atmosphere of an Italian summer evening. The camera captures the magic of the late hour: the moment when alcohol removes inhibitions and people start to dream. That combination of image and mood makes the film special.
