Ages of Love

Ages of Love (Manuale d'amore 3, 2011) is an Italian anthology comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Giovanni Veronesi builds the film around three novellas — three men, three stages of life, three different ways of being caught off guard.

In the first, a young lawyer gets engaged and promptly falls for someone else. In the second, a middle-aged TV host with an apparently perfect family stumbles into an affair on an improbable afternoon. The third brings Robert De Niro to Rome as Adrian, a divorced American professor who arrives alone and broken, befriends his building's concierge, and then meets Monica Bellucci. Carlo Verdone and Riccardo Scamarcio round out the cast.

Veronesi plays no favorites and hands out no verdicts. The film is warmer than it sounds and funnier than it has any right to be. Stream Ages of Love (2011) online on iFILM.
