Fun Facts
The Last One for the Road (2026) is an Italian road movie drama (Le città di pianura) directed by Francesco Sossai, following two middle-aged small-time crooks, Carlobianchi and Doriano, on a drunken odyssey through the Venetian countryside chasing one final scam.
The duo, obsessed with their "last drink," encounters shy architecture student Giulio, who joins their aimless bender filled with rants on globalization, fading Italy, and buried riches from an old partner's return.
World premiering in Cannes' Un Certain Regard section in 2025 before Italy's September release, it hit limited U.S. theaters May 1, 2026, via Music Box Films, blending caper, comedy, and character study.
Starring Filippo Scotti, Sergio Romano, and Pierpaolo Capovilla, the 100-minute film captures Veneto's industrial decline through bar-hopping and wry humor on friendship and failure.
