About Dobbiamo parlare (2015) — A Roman comedy about love, lies, and late-night venting sessions
Sergio Rubini's *Dobbiamo parlare* (2015) is a sharp, Roman-set comedy about the tangled lives of neighbors whose relationships unravel in a sleek penthouse. Vanni, a novelist, and his collaborator Linda share their chic apartment with Alfredo, a chronically early-rising surgeon escaping into an affair, and his equally restless dermatologist wife, Constanza. When the couple bursts in to vent their frustrations, their staged hostage drama spirals into darkly comic chaos—revealing how love, ambition, and routine can quietly suffocate even the most polished lives. Rubini crafts a biting satire of modern relationships, where art, career, and infidelity blur in a city where glamour masks exhaustion.
With razor-sharp dialogue and a sun-drenched aesthetic, *Dobbiamo parlare* balances farce with melancholy, asking whether communication truly heals—or if some things are better left unsaid. The film's ensemble, led by Fabrizio Bentivoglio and Isabella Ragonese, delivers performances drenched in wit and weary charm, making it a standout in Italian comedies of the decade.
