It’s Time to Talk | Io e Te Dobbiamo Parlare
Director | Alessandro Siani
Presented by ANTHONY HARPER
Antonio and Pieraldo are police detectives investigating a big case that will lead them to uncover major corruption. Behind the investigation, we’re privy to the curious bond between the two men.
They’re colleagues, foes, and old friends whose bond evaporated when Pieraldo began a relationship with Antonio’s ex-wife
2024 | 95 mins | Comedy | Italy | Italian with English subtitles
CAST Alessandro Siani, Leonardo Pieraccioni, Francesca Chillemi Enrico Lo Verso
A relaxed comedy that blends humour and crime and invites audiences into the chaotic lives of its two amusing leads. Alessandro Siani directs and stars as Antonio, blending a ligh-hearted romance with elements reminiscent of 1980s American buddy-cop films.
In Italy, both Siani and Pieraccioni (Pieraldo) are household names, but this is the first time they’ve appeared on screen together. It was Italy’s biggest comedy in 2024 and was shot entirely on the Adriatic Coast of Le Marche and in Ancona, giving it a laid-back seaside vibe.
It’s Time to Talk strikes a balance that keeps viewers entertained without losing sight of what makes stories compelling; human connection amid adversity, family, love, and a never-take-yourself-too-seriously attitude.
,,, a light, well0-structured comedy, rich in a steady flow of gags. A comedy, yes - but in truth also a police film, a genre that always brings mystery and action
