"The Eternal City" is a quality of film that is hard to properly communicate. With simply beautiful black and white photography and a wonderful soundtrack that scores the film far beyond simple background music, the film is a love story of romance, brotherhood, passion, betrayal, and obsession amongst its characters' various relationships, each of which helps to touch on the filmmakers' obvious love for the location of their city, the eternal city of Rome.
Although certainly populated with enjoyable performances, I mostly enjoyed the style and structure of the film, which shows subtly enough, through neither theft nor obvious homage, the filmmakers' love not only for the city of Rome, but its history of fine cinema as well.
Certainly a promising start for filmmakers I hope to see more from in the future.
