"To Rome With Love" is a romantic comedy film written, directed and starring Woody Allen.
The film is set in Rome, Italy.
The film features an ensemble cast, and Allen himself in his first acting role since 2006's "Scoop"
The film is perceived to have been a modern-day take on Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron, but Allen later insisted that the film has no connection to the stories.
The story is told in four vignettes.
