The last playboy

Maurizio Candidi is 70 years old and presents himself as the last representative of a fading lifestyle: an old-school playboy devoted to luxury, women, and the promise of eternal seduction. He claims to have slept with more than a thousand women — a figure that seems less a statistic than part of his carefully crafted self-mythology. The film follows Maurizio through his daily routines between elegant hotels, glamorous seaside resorts, and memories of past conquests. Through conversations and encounters, a portrait emerges of a man who has dedicated his life to pleasure and freedom — while quietly resisting the realities of aging. Yet beneath the charm and bravado, cracks begin to show. Between performance and loneliness, nostalgia and reality, the film asks what remains when the image of the eternal seducer starts to fade. THE LAST PLAYBOY is both an entertaining and melancholic reflection on masculinity, mortality, and the desire to turn one’s own life into legend.
