Gianni Di Gregorio’s second feature film The Salt of Life is billed as a comedy,
but there’s an inherent sadness in this tale of a late middle aged Roman man
taking a second stab in life at finding happiness through pleasures of the
flesh. The film, written and directed by Di Gregorio, is a sequel to his 2010
comedy Mid-August Lunch. Not having
seen the first film, I can attest that it’s hardly a prerequisite to enjoying
the second.
