IFF - A Brighter Tomorrow
FRI 8 NOV
Coming Soon to
Roxy Cinema
Presented by Accord & Albini PItigliani International Freight
Dir. Nanni Moretti is a national treasure in Italy, whose quirky and moving films have the most distinctive original voice in Italian cinema. Moretti has won all the major prizes at Cannes and has headed the Jury. In A Brighter Tomorrow, he is easy to love, starring and making ample fun of himself, playing a curmudgeonly film director who is so self-absorbed he has not noticed his wife drifting away. He is busy making a film that is an earnest challenge to ‘modern cinema’ with its empty commercialism and shallow ideas. He refuses to shoot violence; he is adamant about his principles, and he will not ‘sell out’. It makes me laugh out loud how self-parodying Moretti’s ‘Giovanni’ is. The outcome is a hilarious, unique meta-film with a surprising amount of heart, intelligence, and self-deprecating laughs exploring the way the world changes around us as we grow. - Paolo Rotondo
