Eat, Pray, Love

“Eat Pray Love,” is an adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-seller, directed by Ryan Murphy.

 Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) is a woman who has just divorced because she was feeling unhappy.

Then she has a relationship with an younger actor (James Franco), but this only exacerbates Liz’s sense that she is far away from herself. Liz decides to take a year abroad, as a single traveller: four months in Italy, then four months to an ashram in India and some other four months in Indonesia, to cure her soul.

In Rome she visits trattorias, ruins and then meets a Swedish woman called Sofi (Tuva Novotny). In Italy Liz discovers the pleasures of eating and resting properly, of „dolce farniente”.

In India, at the ashram she meets a Texan called Richard (Richard Jenkins) whose nickname for her is Groceries. Richard helps her find herself and make peace with her past.

On Bali, Liz is the apprentice of a shaman called Hadi and becomes friend with  a healer named Wayan (Christine Hakim). She also falls in love with Felipe, a divorced Brazilian  (Javier Bardem).
