FINCHE C'E PROSECCO C'E SPERANZA (THE LAST PROSECCO) 

Watchable. Plenty of very Italian vistas. Old style investigation. Babak Karim acts as an uncle. The police detective is half Persian which justifies the presence of the Indian actor as his uncle as well as accounts for his own apparent ignorance of some things Italian, prosecco in particular. Italy is the best actress of the film. The main characters are heart-warming in spite of cold-blooded murders. There's an adorable elderly chap cleaning graves and chatting to the deceased as if they were his living friends. The detective is learning the ropes of his profession and looking for an adequate jacket. Subtle irony abounds. It's a small town with plenty of skeletons in the closet. The bad industrialist plot detracts from its old-fashioned charm.
