Never Too Late for Love (it|Astolfo, fr|Seconde Jeunesse) is a 2022 Italian-French comedy film co-written and directed by Gianni Di Gregorio and starring Di Gregorio and Stefania Sandrelli.
The film premiered at the 17th edition of the Rome Film Festival. It was released on Italian cinemas on 20 November 2022.[1]
The film was generally well received by critics. Cineuropa described it as "a brilliant comedy with no shortage of hilarious scenes", "plenty of surreal humour" and in which "everything is made with measure, and it’s involving and entertaining."[2] Devika Girish from The New York Times referred to it as "a small-town comedy that sparkles with unique characters and heartwarming wit", in which Di Gregorio turns "a trite [...] premise into something fresh and funny".[3] Le Nouvel Obs wrote "This is Italian cinema as we like it: funny, sweet, full of quaint little characters and with a story that's tailor-made for our tender hearts".[4]
The film received a David di Donatello nomination for best screenplay, and two Nastro d'Argento noms for best comedy film and best actress in a comedy film (Sandrelli).[5] [6]
