Review of Toscana

Toscana (II) (2022)
7/10
a flawed father-son relationship, family business and good food
23 May 2022
"Toscana" is a 2022 Netflix production from a Danish team that felt in love with the Italian countryside. The filming location was in "Castello di Ristonchi, Pelago, FI, Italy" and they show some really nice colored scenery.

I liked the story a lot which is about a flawed father-son relationship, family business and good food. Yes, the food looks absolutely yummie and you get to see a lot of cooking and food prepping throughout the film. Anders Matthesen plays the troubled chef "Theo". Sometimes you expect him to say something but then he just glares at somebody. I heard someone say it is the Danish depression. There you go! Cristiana Dell'Anna plays the adorable "Sophia" really well. I had a heart for her character. Good thing the movie didn't turn out to be a predictable rom-com from the beginning. I can understand reviewers arguing that this is a lame version of "A good Year", but still I think this one worth watching. A nice score comes from Thomas Volmer Schulz.
