A Brighter Tomorrow - CINEMA ITALIANO at Victoria Theatre & Cinema Devonport
A Brighter Tomorrow - CINEMA ITALIANO
Screening as part of the 9th Cinema Italiano
Friday 10 May @ 12pm
Il Sol dell’Avvenire (A Brighter Tomorrow)
Director 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 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.
Directed by Nanni Moretti
Starring Nanni Moretti, Margherita Buy, Silvio Orlando, Barbora Bobulova
Screening in Italian with English subtitles.
