Michael Winterbottom · 2014 · road

The 2014 sequel sends Coogan and Brydon down Italy in the footsteps of the Romantic poets, eating their way from the Ligurian coast through Tuscany and Rome to the Amalfi Coast and Capri, with Alanis Morissette on the stereo and the impressions never letting up.

  1. 1
    The Ligurian Coast

    They begin among the cliffs and cove villages of Liguria, following Byron and Shelley south.

  2. 2
    Tuscany

    Through the hills and trattorias of Tuscany, the food sublime and the egos intact.

  3. 3
    Rome

    The Eternal City, more meals, more Michael Caine, more mortality.

  4. 4
    The Amalfi Coast

    Down to the dizzying Amalfi Coast and its lemon-scented terraces.

  5. 5
    Capri

    A final ferry across to the island of Capri, where the trip and the season end.
