Tommasso and Guilia are falling in love.
Barbara and Marco are falling out of love.
Ornella's husband is with another love.
Goffredo has been abandoned by his love.
A box office smash in Italy, The manual of love (Manuale d'amore) is a charming, bitter-sweet comedy about the mysterious nature of love. The ups and downs of relationships are chronicled through four intertwining episodes, each one played out by a different couple. The innocent, dreamlike stage of falling in love; the heart-wrenching phase of relationship crisis; the impulsive and frenetic epiphany of betrayal; and the lonesome, tragic free-fall of being abandoned. The stories are both everyday and extraordinary, sweet and moving, romantic and funny. A refreshingly modern portrayal of love in all its incarnations.

Theatrical report
The manual of love is a nice little Italian film with cute boys and girls, funny men and women, sweet boyfriends and girlfriends and tragic husbands and wives. It's delightful, it's funny, it's lovely. Enjoy it.
(For some reason I don't have much to say about The manual of love (Manuale d'amore). This is partly because the film is a little bland but mostly because I recently saw Brokeback Mountain and it has put me right off love, romance and relationships. The bastards.)
