THE Italiansequel toThe LastKiss fromG a b r i e l e

Muccino, director ofthe Pursuit of Happi-n e s s a n d S e v e nPounds, is showingthis Sunday night.

We pick up nineyears later and catchup with the charactersof The Last Kiss.

C a r l o a n d h i sfriends are each atvarious crossroads intheir lives.

Now in their forties,calmer and morephilosophical, theyhave left behind theheady days of bach-elorhood and casualaffairs, late nights andhangovers, and un-realistic dreams.

Now there are chil-

dren to get to school

on time, separationsto negotiate, jobs totake seriously, life-styles to pay for, pillsfor various ailments,and routines to follow.

They have lost thepassion that drovetheir relationshipsand careers and areleft wondering whathappens next.

Is this it for the next20 or 30 years? It is toolate? Is life over?

T h e A r a l u e nArthouse Cinemamovie is rated MA15+

and advises that thefilm has strong sexscenes.

n Kiss Me Again hasEnglish subtitles andis showing on Sundayat 7pm.
