Whether Hungry for Food or Love, Here Are 5 Reasons You Must Watch This Nordic Romcom, ‘Toscana’ on Netflix

Toscana, Netflix is a fresh addition to its refined regional library, it’s the
first-ever Danish film to make it to the streamer. It also surprisingly finished
filming in only 19 days! It follows a Michelin star restaurant owner/chef Theo,
who has come to Toscana aka Tuscany to sell the restaurant he inherited from his
father. He wants to utilize the money to build his dream restaurant back in
Denmark.

Theo is an angry old man who is grim and lifeless because he has had his
struggles. He is extremely meticulous with his work and takes it super
seriously; he’s rude to anyone who fails to follow his instructions. Theo has
let work take over his life; to him, there is no other meaning to life. This
changes when he meets Irene and learns to love life. He understands what cooking
with love means, without getting into the technicalities and the meticulousness
of it. Here are 5 reasons Toscana is a must-watch.


THE CAST AND CREW OF TOSCANA ON NETFLIX

Theo aka Anders Matthesen is a Danish legend; who has more than 40 films
crediting his name. When it comes to Theo’s casting, there couldn’t have been a
better match.

Sophia aka Cristiana Dell’Anna is relatively new but is well-known for all the
work she’s done. She starred in an HBO max series Gomorrah which aired for four
years. Other famous works of hers are Mr. Happiness and Trust. The director of
the movie is Mehdi Avaz; who is known for movies that leave people thinking.
Movies that make people cry. Andrea Bosca, Ghita Nørby, and Lærke Winther too
are big names in the Danish cinema.


DREAMIEST TOSCANA LOCATIONS

Toscana aka Tuscany is situated in Italy. The city of Florence is its capital
and a tourist city, Pisa is another famous tourist city located in Tuscany. Both
these places have cultural and artistic history giving the region its edge.

The Tuscan landscape is mostly hilly with the Apuan Alps and Apennine mountains
adorning its green plains. Tuscany is the major food source for the entire
country, which explains its green flats. The place adds invariably to the themes
of the movie and makes viewers feel romantic even in scenes with intensity.


IT WILL MAKE YOU DROOL

The movie stays authentic to its chef’s narrative because it thoroughly shows
the passion he puts into everything he cooks. Fans see him make his Michelin
star dishes with utmost dedication, ease, and perfection. The outcomes are
always irresistible.

Food remains the central hero of the movie, as it is the reason for Theo’s
motivation and Sophia’s love. The film makes you want to plan a trip to Italy.


THE BACKGROUND SCORE

The background music of the movie really ties up the Danes with Italy, it’s that
dash of lemon that instantly freshens up a drink. It features songs from
legendary Italian artists, Ornella Vanoni and Gigliola Cinquetti.

Both their songs are retro from the ’70s and are melodic like the language. It
also features Thomas Volmer Schulz who is relatively new but has worked on Mehdi
Avaz’s movies before. Here are all songs from Toscana

movie before watching it.


THE CINEMATOGRAPHY

Every review page has one thing in common with their Toscana reviews; it’s the
direction of photography. Michael Sauer Christensen is a director, producer,
cinematographer, and editor. His talent already gives an idea about his work.

His camera has patiently captured the Tuscan landscape, and emphasized the
chef’s process of cooking, rather than giving fleeting glimpses of the food.
Michael’s attention to details makes Toscana an experience of Italy.
