Taste of Life (A Blast of Life)
1988 · Movie · 106 min. · Italy
Elvio Battistini works as a ticket taker in the local cinema of the small town where he lives. He has a prosthesis in one leg, the result of an accident, but he tells anyone who will listen it is a war injury. Giuseppe Mondardini, is also an older man living alone in what was the splendid family home. When Elvio and Giuseppe meet, they hit it off immediately. A trip to a cooler area is in order, so Mordardini unveils his ancient automobile. What follows is an adventure that will take them to the French Riviera, something Battistini did not want to do.
