A 150min bolognese sauce ad filmed in - TUNISIA??


They recreated the town in Tunisia! It's totally fake. Not even Italian. Were the mountains in Tunisia too??? I'm outraged. I want 150mins of my life back.

I'm Italian (and my parents were born in Sicily); I enjoyed the movie the first time I saw it at the cinema. The fact that part of the movie was shot in Tunisia is a minor fault in my opinion (maybe the director couldn't shoot in Sicily for bureaucratic reasons, or maybe the local mafia wanted to make some money out of it, who knows?).

As I said, I enjoyed it the first time I saw it, because of the beauty of the scenery; yesterday I saw it again on television, and I have to say I too had the impression of watching a long, beautiful ad, without much substance!

It's a pity that the foreign viewer cannot recognise all the actors who are famous in Italy, but not abroad.

All in all, 7/10.
