Description: “Come Undone” (Italian: “Cosa voglio di più”) is a 2010 film directed by Silvio Soldini. The story follows Anna, played by Alba Rohrwacher, who works at an insurance company and is married to Alessio, portrayed by Giuseppe Battiston. While Alessio is eager to start a family, Anna’s life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Domenico, played by Pierfrancesco Favino, a married waiter at a local restaurant. Despite their respective commitments, Anna and Domenico quickly become entangled in a passionate affair.
Their relationship is marked by secret meetings, stolen moments, and escalating lies. As Anna grows emotionally distant from Alessio, Domenico’s wife begins to suspect his infidelity. The film explores the consequences of their actions as they grapple with the intensity of their passion and the difficult choices it forces upon them.
The Italian title, which translates to “What more do I want,” hints at the underlying theme of seeking fulfillment beyond the ordinary. Anna’s life with Alessio is stable and comfortable, but lacks excitement or deep emotional connection. Though her sister’s recent motherhood might suggest a desire for change, Anna doesn’t seem ready to embrace family life with Alessio.
“Come Undone” delves into the complexities of an affair without passing moral judgment or delving deeply into the psychological motivations of its characters. Instead, it portrays the raw emotions and turmoil that arise when two people are drawn together, despite the boundaries of their existing relationships. The film leaves viewers to reflect on the nature of desire, the pursuit of something more, and the inevitable consequences of following one’s heart.
