May 30 - June 6, 2024
The latest from Nanni Moretti is a comic sendup of the creative life and a love letter to cinema itself, in which Moretti plays a film director who resents his producer wife for going to work on another director’s project.
The latest from Nanni Moretti is a comic sendup of the creative life and a love letter to cinema itself. Moretti stars as Giovanni, a film director who wishes to adapt John Cheever’s short story “The Swimmer” (the basis for Frank Perry’s 1968 Burt Lancaster–starring film of the same name). Sidetracked by working on a historical film about the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, his producer wife Paola (Margherita Buy) is hired to work on another project, stirring Giovanni’s resentment that she isn’t idly waiting around to help him make his dream film.
