A special preview to the 2023 ST. ALi Italian Film Festival!
Watch TrailerFrom Italian maestro Nanni Moretti (Mia Madre, The Son’s Room), A Brighter Tomorrow is a multi-layered new comedy about filmmaking in the age of the streaming giants.
Moretti stars as Giovanni, a prolific, pedantic Roman movie director who has just started shooting ‘A Brighter Tomorrow’, a new period drama but everything, both personal and professional, seems to be conspiring against Giovanni: his 40-year marriage and working relationship with Paola (Margherita Buy) is in crisis, his French co-producer Pierre (Mathieu Amalric) is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the commercial prospects of his new film in a rapidly changing market are decidedly uncertain. It may be time for Giovanni to start rethinking his stringent way of doing things…
Featuring an ensemble cast of Moretti regulars, A Brighter Tomorrow is the auteur’s biggest box office hit to date, achieving over 500,000 admissions in Italy in mid-2023. Playfully blurring the lines between his on-screen character’s life and movies with his own filmography and neuroses, Moretti invites audiences to take pause and to embrace the true joy and magic of cinema once more.
