(April 4, 2017) Italian cinema more and more to the conquest of foreign markets. RAI Com sold in eight countries the rights of the new comedy by Francesco Amato “Lasciati Andare”, which will be in Italian cinemas on April 13. The film, which stars an unprecedented Toni Servillo, will be launched in the US and Canada, Australia, Greece, Israel, Spain, Taiwan and Turkey. And not just that. Negotiations are under way with China and Latin America. In “Lasciati Andare” Servillo plays Elia, a psychoanalyst who, over the years, has gradually detached from the profession to fall back into boredom and indifference. Unhelpful and mercilessly witty, Elia keeps everyone at a distance, including his ex-wife Giovanna who lives in the apartment next to his, and that still does the laundry for him and occasionally go to the theater with him. An emotionally stingy life, in short, that Elia sublimates eating sweets until one day, due to a mild illness, is forced to go on a diet and join a gym. Here he will meet Claudia (Veronica Echegui), eccentric personal trainer with the cult of the body, no awe for the brains out of shape as him and an innate ability to drag in her mess anyone who happens fall in her sight.
