Description:
International sensation Asia Argento and legendary actor Michel Piccoli star in this fascinating tale of encounter and self-discovery, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Peter Del Monte INVITATION AU VOYAGE.
Cora (Argento), an attractive, unstable girl in her teens with no stable job or home, is hired by a rich woman to follow her forgetful father (Piccoli)throughout Rome and beyond. As the old man makes pointless trips across Italy, Cora unknowingly embarks on a journey of self-discovery, dealing with past memories, and colorful encounters. Unable to deal with the old man's delirium, Cora wanders off on her own, becoming involved with various men and evading her low-life brother's plans to kidnap the old man for ransom. Lost in despair, Cora abandons the pursuit and returns to Rome, where an accidental encounter lifts her spirits.
Beautiful locations in Italy and stunning performances by Argento and Piccoli make TRAVELING COMPANION an unforgettable emotional ride.

I found this movie very charming and endearing, worthy of more acclaim than it has received.

For the girls (or guys, I suppose) the same goes for actors like Johnathan Rhys Meyers, Orlando Bloom, Jake Gyllenhaal, etc.
This movie sort of fits that bill, but not really. It is an Asia Argento vehicle, no doubt, but you don't have to feel guilty watching it in the ... Read More

I strongly suspect that this was a dog even in Italian. But for certain, it's terrible with subtitles. Spelling and grammar errors lead me to believe it's probably a bad translation. I was unable to detect any "voyage of self discovery" here, and I also can't see that Asia Argento deserved any award -- she just acted like a spoiled 19yo as far as I could see.
Don't waste your time or money.
