Nani Moretti is a film director, producer, screenwriter, and actor. He made his debut with the feature documentary Ecce Bombo (1978) and received the Special Jury Prize at the Venice FF for Sweet Dreams (1981). Red Wood Pigeon (1989) was ranked as the top film of the year by Cahiers du Cinéma, and since Caro diario (1993), all of his films have premiered at Cannes. His film The Son′s Room (2001) won the Palme d′Or at Cannes, and in 2012, he served as the President of the Official Competition Jury at Cannes. In 2021, his film Three Floors (2021) was screened at Cannes and the Busan IFF.
Giovanni, a prolific, pedantic Roman movie director who has just started shooting ‘A Brighter Tomorrow’, a new period drama following an Italian Communist branch leader and his secretary who are thrown into existential chaos by the Soviet Union’s 1956 invasion of Hungary. But everything, both personal and professional, seems to be conspiring against Giovanni: His 40-year marriage and working relationship with Paola is in crisis, his French co-producer Pierre is on the verge of bankruptcy, and—even before its completion—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.
