Latin Lover

Latin Lover (2015) is an Italian comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Cristina Comencini and featuring Virna Lisi in her final screen performance.

Saverio Crispo was the kind of actor Italy adored without asking too many questions. A decade after his death, five daughters arrive at the family villa for the anniversary — one Italian, one French, one Spanish, one American, one Swedish, each raised in a different country by a different mother, barely acquainted with each other. The longer they stay, the more the man they've come to celebrate doesn't quite hold together.

Comencini uses the comedy of five strangers sharing an inheritance to ask something harder: what happens to identity when the father you built yourself around turns out to have been mostly a performance? Stream Latin Lover (2015) online on iFILM.
