SYNOPSIS:
A bohemian artist who travels from London to Italy with his estranged son to sell the house they inherited from his late wife.
Early on in
Made in Italy, Liam Neeson’s Robert asks his son Jack (Micheál Richardson) if he thinks hentai is art or pornography. That has nothing to do with the rest of the movie, I just wanted to start this review off by mentioning that this is a movie where Liam Neeson briefly discusses hentai. The movie itself is good and effectively moving if somewhat hokey and cloying.
