Synopsis
A Matter of Heart (Questione di cuore, 2009) is an Italian dramedy you can watch online on iFILM — Francesca Archibugi's story of a friendship that begins in a hospital ward. Two men land in neighbouring beds in a Rome clinic, both recovering from heart attacks. Angelo is a quiet, married garage mechanic. Alberto is a loud, well-off screenwriter and chain smoker who cracks jokes even hooked up to a monitor.
What starts as random proximity turns into the real thing. After they're discharged the two keep meeting up, and the gregarious Alberto slowly works his way into shy Angelo's household. Antonio Albanese and Kim Rossi Stuart play the pair with an easy, unforced rhythm, with Micaela Ramazzotti as Angelo's wife. Archibugi balances the comedy and the ache, letting the bond deepen even as the title's subject hangs over both men. It's a warm, low-key film for anyone who enjoys Italian cinema about ordinary people and the way a stranger can quietly become family. Stream A Matter of Heart (2009) online on iFILM.
