THE LONELY ITALIAN
When we think of Italian men, we think of suave, debonair lovers with an endless slew of willing ladies at their beck and call. Domenico Nesci is not one of those Italian men. Rather, he is a foreigner with a very common problem: he just can't connect with members of the opposite sex. Why? Because everywhere he goes, women are buried in their smart-phones, their tablets, their laptops, looking down instead of looking around, hoping that technology will bring them closer to their soulmate in this new era of interconnectivity. So Domenico decides not only to join the online masses, but to document his journey as he joins every dating site he can, from mainstream to fringe, casting an ever-widening net in the hopes he can find the love of his life.

”The Lonely Italian succeeds in many ways. It’s more than an Ali G ripoff of uncomfortable gags at the expense of unwitting victims. It is a solid film with a decent narrative story to string the gags together. While Domenico Nesci is not for everyone, stick with it. The Lonely Italian not only goes for the laugh but it has something to say as well.”
