Sundance: The Movie I’d Like To See
No, it isn’t one of those cooler-than-thou indies in which three scenes of incest are followed by three scenes of gore. It’s a shamefully civilized-sounding pic called “Trip.” It stars Steve “Philomena” Coogan and Rob Brydon and is directed by Michael Winterbottom. The actors take a restaurant tour of Italy. Their route follows the Italian journeys of Lord Byron and Percy Byshe Shelley in the early 1800s, so that means Piemonte, Liguria, Rome, Pompeii, Napoli and the Amalfi Coast. They ride around in a Mini-Cooper, taking in the scenic splendor of the hilly regions and gorging on plates and plates of pasta, vegetables, truffles, seafood and various heavily sauced entrees. Yum!
