We’ve been eagerly anticipating US Dates for Mia Madre and they’ll begin Friday!
Margherita Buy and John Turturro
Brought to us by Music Box Films, Mia Madre is Nanni Moretti’s best work ever, a perfectly balanced, artfully told story about grief, loss, and self-reflection. Nothing maudlin here, and though it is at times achingly sad, it’s not a cheesy tear-jerker. Moretti’s script and Margherita Buy’s best actress award-winning performance as Margherita, a film director, put the viewer solidly into the story as observation turns to meditation. Buy’s character is the modern everyman; self-absorbed, impatient, and a bit removed from relationships in her life.
