Manuale d'amore

Manual of Love is a 2005 Italian blockbuster romantic comedy film in four quartets. It was directed by Giovanni Veronesi, who made two sequels, Manuale d'amore 2 – Capitoli successivi in 2007, and Manuale d'amore 3 in 2011. Plot Each of the four episodes follows a different couple, focusing on a particular stage of a typical love relationship: Innamoramento (falling in love): Giulia and Tommaso (Jasmine Trinca and Silvio Muccino) meet by chance. He falls in love on the spot; although initially Giulia doesn't return his sentiments, a romantic dinner leads the relationship to bloom and develop into an actual marriage proposal. Crisi (crisis): Barbara and Marco (Margherita Buy and Sergio Rubini) are a couple going through a crisis, close to divorce. She is the stereotypical wife, full of initiative which her husband does not share. He on the other hand gets more and more boring in his routine.
