Triumph at the box office for this new comedy directed and starring Alessandro Siani, who can only toast the triumph. The weekend just ended proved to be an extraordinary success for this new cinematographic work, reaching the record figure of 1 million and 680 thousand euros in takings and thus establishing the best result for an Italian production during this period of the year.

Alessandro Siani must therefore do much more than cheers, toasting in a big way, and not only for the best wishes this evening (Eve) and tomorrow (Christmas), but precisely for the maximum satisfaction that one can enjoy, being the director and also the co-star of You and I need to talk.

Filmed in the evocative setting of Ancona, this brilliant comedy earned the title of the most watched Italian film during the Christmas holidays, reaching an excellent second place in the weekend's overall takings.

Record numbers for an all-Italian comedy

The film was produced by Fulvio and Federica Lucisano for Italian International Film, in collaboration with Rai Cinema and Netflix You and I need to talk debuted in Italian cinemas on 19 December 2024 thanks to the distribution of 01 Distribution.

The results were not long in coming: in the first weekend, the film reached the record takings of 1 million and 680 thousand euros, establishing the best result for an Italian production during this period of the year.

Alessandro Siani pays homage to the public

Enthusiastic about the success, director and actor Alessandro Siani wanted to dedicate a special thought to the spectators who contributed to making the film a true triumph. “My thoughts are aimed at our audience. You and I need to talk: Thank you so much!”, these are his words full of meaning and irony addressed directly to the spectators. A message that underlines the special bond between the author and the audience, the true engine of cinematic success.

But the other basic ingredient for this film's recipe for success is also the presence on the set of two giants of comedy. The winning duo formed by Alessandro Siani and Leonardo Pieraccioni undoubtedly played a decisive role in capturing the attention of the spectators. Both already beloved for their unmistakable style, the two actor-directors (but here the director is only Siani) have joined forces in a project that has been able to expertly mix humour, emotion and current themes, creating an engaging and suitable cinematic experience at all ages.

A fascinating scenario

The filming, set in the picturesque city of Ancona, added a further element of charm to the film, helping to create an authentic connection with the Italian audience.

Furthermore, the collaboration with Netflix will further expand the film's audience, soon bringing it into the homes of millions of viewers around the world (the Netflix streaming platform is also visible on Sky Glass, Sky Q and via the Now Smart Stick app ).

With such a promising debut and the warmth of the audience showing no signs of abating, You and I need to talk is set to become one of the great successes of Italian cinema this season. For Alessandro Siani and Leonardo Pieraccioni this represents further confirmation of their talent and their ability to entertain and excite with stories that speak directly to the hearts of spectators.
