Return to Virtual Cinema

Acclaimed Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti returns to the screen with a moving, semi-autobiographical story of a film director (played by Margherita Buy) trying to balance the normal production woes of her latest project with the her mother's failing health.  John Turtorro is spot on in the  role of the ego-driven American actor in this “movie within a movie”, providing wonderful comedic moments that offset the real-life drama that’s taking place as the director races back and forth to her ailing mother’s bedside.  Moretti has a keen eye for capturing the smallest details as he shifts between humorous moments and the intense sadness of this most difficult and personal life passage.
(Italy, 2015)   106 minutes

Italian Ambassador to the U.S. Claudio Bisogniero will introduce the film at the Saturday morning screening.
