MOVIE DETAILS::To Rome with Love is a 2012 romantic comedy film written, directed and starring Woody Allen. The film is set in Rome, Italy.
The film features an ensemble cast, and Allen himself in his first acting role since 2006's Scoop.
The film is perceived to have been a modern-day take on Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron, but Allen later insisted that the film has no connection to the stories.[ The story is told in four separate vignettes: a worker who wakes up to find himself a celebrity, an architect who takes a trip back to the street he lived on as a student, a young couple on their honeymoon, and a funeral director who has a talent for singing in the shower
The idea to produce To Rome with Love came from an offer from distributors from Rome who offered to finance a film for Allen, as long as it was filmed in Rome, which he accepted due to his desire to both work in Rome and "opportunity to get the money to work quickly and from a single source"The four vignettes featured in the film were based on ideas and notes he had written throughout the year before he wrote it The vignettes featured in the film deal with the theme of "fame and accomplishment", although Allen stated that he didn't intend for them to have any thematic connection He initially named the film Bop Decameron, a reference to the 14th century book by Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio, but several people, including Italians, didn't understand the reference, so he retitled it Nero Fiddles. The new title was still met with confusion, so he settled on the final title To Rome with Love, although he has stated that he hates this title.
