Commesso Viaggiatore (2001)

Theatrical Release Information  |  See Details About All Versions

One man's dedication to his job has negative consequences at home in this low-key drama from Italy. Michele Rosati (Claudio Bigagli) has found success as a travelling perfume salesman, but he's paid a heavy price in his personal life; while he loves his wife Laura (Maddalena Crippa) and his two children, his work keeps him on the road most of the time, and he rarely gets to spend much time with his family. Long nights in shabby hotel rooms begin to wear on Michele, and his loneliness begins to manifest itself in paranoia. Fearful that something could be happening to his children, Michele begins to steal time away from his work, but rather than actually visiting with his kids, he spies on them from a distance, which helps neither his career or his family relationships. Shot on videotape, Commesso Viaggiatore is primarily in black-and-white, though it does feature color sequences. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
