ONE LAST DRINK. AND THEN ONE MORE.

The bottom has fallen out for Carlobianchi and Doriano, two small-time Italian crooks. They haven't been able to mount an honest scam since the 2008 financial crisis and now face the impending mediocrity of middle age. The return of an exiled partner-in-crime from Argentina affords a second chance for long-buried riches — but can Carlobianchi and Doriano put down their beers long enough to keep their eyes on the prize? Along their slow-motion, alcoholic grand tour of the Venetian countryside, they cross paths with Giulio, a shy architecture student who reluctantly warms to the sodden pair and indulges their rants about the folly of globalization and the slow decline of local color. Each roadside tavern offers the promise of one last drink — unless the next one ups the ante.

Premiering in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes 2025 before going on to sweep eight David di Donatello awards, Italy's equivalent of the Oscars. Francesco Sossai's sophomore feature is a road movie, a casual caper, a tribute to a vanishing Italy, and a free-flowing bender through time and space, all at once.

At the time of its launch on Video Store, "The Last One for the Road" ranked in the Top 100 Italian Films and Top 250 Films of the 2020s on Letterboxd.
