Synopsis
Il Sol Dell’Avvenire
Director Nanni Moretti is a national treasure in Italy, whose quirky and moving films have the most distinctive original voice in Italian cinema.
In A Brighter Tomorrow, he plays 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’.
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.
