    The Eternal City tells the story of two American men in Rome and their collective quest to make a film and win the heart of a beautiful Italian girl. When Jonny arrives from Philadelphia to seek out his summer fling he stumbles upon three new companions: Jesse, a filmmaker from New York; Angela, Jesse's beautiful pianist girlfriend and Pablo, Angela's piano teacher. But their relationships turn turbulent when a love triangle begins to emerge. Set against the backdrop of Rome with beautiful cinematography and honest and undeniable characters, The Eternal City is a comi-drama that shows it is our human instinct to find love - no matter what the consequence. Cinequest's surprises In contrast to well-worn scenarios, co-directors Arianna De Giorgi and Jason Goodman's transatlantic The Eternal City is a quirky comedy that feels almost made up as it goes along-resulting in something perilously slight yet disarming and funny. It's protagonist is a Philly youth who's come to Rome in search of the girl he fell in love with in Paris. When it turns out her attention span has already snapped, he ends up staying with her neighbors, an aspiring concert pianist and her American filmmaker boyfriend (Goodman himself). There's a vintage-Jarmuschy feel to the proceedings, not least because the film is much enhanced by being in B&W. Dennis Harvey - San Francisco Film Society (Mar 8, 2008) First up was 'The Eternal City', shot by Americans in Rome and about Rome. It's a beautiful movie which I had a hard time summing up until Cinequest icon Chris Garcia gave me the line, 'Fellini's 'There's Something About Mary''. Brilliant line, but just so you know this movie does not have gross-out humor. What it does have is a lot of heart, a beautiful look (converting it to black and white really makes it work), interesting characters, and a fun, leisurely story. Jonny, from Philadelphia, comes to Rome to visit the girl he met last summer in Paris. Unfortunately, she's cruel and won't even let him into her apartment. In the morning, he meets the upstairs neighbor, Jess (from New York), who let's him at least take a nap in his apartment--or rather his girlfriend Angela's apartment. Angela is obsessed with her dreams, Jonny knows how to read dreams (or at least bullshit about them). Jess is kind of a slob, but also an aspiring filmmaker with a series of documentary shorts about Rome. He shows them his short 'The Wild Cranes of Rome'--not about birds, about construction cranes. He's trying to get Werner Herzog to do the voiceover (good freakin' choice!) Anyway, Jesse, Angela, and Jonny start to form a bit of a love triangle, while also trying to make Jesse's epic 'The Taking of Corsica', starring Johnny (it's been trimmed down a bit from the original epic script). Throw into all this an eccentric 4-fingered Argentinian piano teacher Pablo (who celebrates a birthday in the film--it fits the Cinequest theme!) who becomes obsessed with building a piano from scratch (which was the family business back in Argentina). Whew! You can see why I had trouble summing it up. I'll let 'Fellini's 'There's Something About Mary'' sum it up. I didn't want to be the one audacious enough to reference Fellini while describing this film, but since I've already quoted Chris saying that, I'll second that. Jason Watches Movies - jasonwatchesmovies blogspot (Mar 9, 2008) An Eternal City Films production. Produced by Daniela Remiddi, Laura Remiddi, Gabriele De Giorgi. Executive producer, Vincenzo Ianni. Directed, written by Arianna De Giorgi, Jason Goodman. With: Joe Iacovino, Giulia Steigerwalt, Jason Goodman, Pablo Gasparri, Miriam Candurro. Shot in color but processed in crisp B&W -- thus recalling the glory days of Italian art cinema -- low-budget lark 'The Eternal City' echoes classic '80s Amerindie quirks despite plentiful local color. Tale of a love-besotted Philly lad intruding on a young Roman couple ingratiates even if character depth and story heft might best be called breezy. Not since Jim Jarmusch's early heyday have pics this willfully slender rustled much theatrical in
