Santiago, Italia NEW FROM “MORETTI CRAFTS THIS FIERCELY EARNEST DOCUMENTARY WITH A FRANK SIMPLICITY THAT FEELS REMARKABLY ORIGINAL.” RICHARD BRODY, NEW YORKER “An historical document, a condemnation of fascism, a journey of hope, and a universal call for compassion.” ANITA KATZ, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER “With the worldwide rise of the right wing in the 21st century, Santiago, Italia remains a timely reminder of oppression’s human toll and the little resistances and allegiances that keep people alive.” CARMEN PADDOCK, ONE ROOM WITH A VIEW In the early seventies, the world was watching as Chile democratically elected Socialist leader Salvador Allende. His political ideals and aspirations— among them providing education for all children and distributing land to the nation’s workers—terrified the country’s right-wing, as well as the U.S., who helped orchestrate a military coup that replaced him with dictator Augusto Pinochet. This tragic history has been well documented, but Italian director Nanni Moretti (Caro Diario, Ecce Bombo) adds an angle many viewers may not know about: the efforts of the Italian Embassy to save and relocate citizens targeted by the fascist regime. Told through the testimonies of those who were there, Santiago, Italia is a chilling depiction of living under junta rule and an ultimately inspiring expression of hope amidst dire circumstances. • CRITICS PRIZE: NATIONAL SYNDICATE OF ITALIAN CINEMATOGRAPHIC JOURNALISTS NEW YORK HONG KONG VANCOUVER FILM FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL FILM FESTIVAL • BEST DOCUMENTARY: DAVID DI DONATELLO 2019 AWARDS (ITALIAN OSCARS) SANTIAGO, ITALIA Established in 2013, Distrib Films brings the latest A film by Nanni Moretti • From Distrib Films • An Icarus Films Release Documentary • Italy • 2019 • 80 min • In Spanish and Italian with English Subtitles French and European movies to the US.

  • In Nanni Moretti's La Stanza Del Figlio
    09-Mary Ann_0Syrimis 2/10/14 10:31 AM Page 113 MORETTI ’S CHILDREN : T HE NEXT GENERATION ? MARY ANN MCDONALD CAROLAN Summary : Nanni Moretti’s La stanza del figlio/The Son’s Room (2001) reveals the effects of a child’s death on the protagonist Giovanni (a psy - coanalyst played by Moretti) and his family. This film appears after Aprile/April (1998), which narrates both the birth of the director’s son Pietro as well as the Italian electoral campaign in 1996 in the month of the title. The arrival of a biological son followed by the death of a fic - tional one in Moretti’s oeuvre suggests greater implications for the par - ent-child relationship in Italy. This phenomenon also comments on the relationship between generations of Italian directors. An examination of Moretti’s earlier autobiographical film Caro diario/Dear Diary (1994) gives insight into this director’s relationship to other artists and also sug - gests implications for the future of Italian filmmaking. In Nanni Moretti’s La stanza del figlio /The Son’s Room (2001), the death of a child allows the narrative to explore the highly personal realm of grief. The title of Moretti’s film refers to a now uninhabited space that serves as a metaphor for the void in the family created by Andrea’s (Giuseppe Sanfelice) accidental drowning while scuba diving. The son’s death devas - tates his father Giovanni (Nanni Moretti), mother Paola (Laura Morante), and sister Irene (Jasmine Trinca). Moretti examines the family members’ reactions to this unimaginable loss that leads ultimately to a redefinition of self.

Während sie sich um ihre alte Mutter Sorgen macht, muss sie als Regisseurin am Set ihres neusten Films ihre Autorität behaupten. Sie plagt sich mit den Launen des extra aus den USA eingeflogenen Hauptdarstellers (John Turturro) herum, wird von der pubertierenden Tochter vor den Kopf gestossen und ihr Bruder, gespielt von Nanni Moretti, ist mit seinen gut gemeinten, aber unnötigen Ratschlägen auch nicht immer die grosse Hilfe. GESPRÄCH MIT NANNI MORETTI Ist die von Margherita Buy in MIA MADRE gespielte Figur Ihr Double? Ich habe nie daran gedacht, die Hauptrolle meines Filmes zu spielen. Ich mache das schon seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr und ich bin auch froh darüber. Früher amüsierte es mich, heute habe ich nicht mehr die fixe Idee, meine Figur in jedem Film zu konstruieren. Ich habe immer eine Frau und eine Regisseurin vor Augen gehabt. Und dass diese Frau von Margherita Buy gespielt werden musste, hat einen einfachen Grund: Ein Film mit Margherita Buy in der Hauptrolle wird besser sein als einer mit mir in der Hauptrolle… Sie spielt viel besser als ich! Margherita hat das ganze Gewicht der Arbeit auf ihren Schultern getragen: Bei 70 Drehtagen war sie nur einen Tag abwesend – für eine Szene, die ich schliesslich wegeschnitten habe.

  • Nanni Moretti Ha Esordito Come Autore Nel 1973 Con Il Cortometraggio “La Sconfitta”
    Biblio_Filmografia Biblioteca Berio - Via del Seminario, 16 - Genova [email protected] - www.bibliotechedigenova.it Siamo su INTRODUZIONE “Mi si nota di più se vengo e me ne sto in disparte o se non vengo per niente?” Regista, attore, sceneggiatore, produttore e proprietario di una sala cinematografica, Nanni Moretti ha esordito come autore nel 1973 con il cortometraggio “La sconfitta”. A lui, ai suoi film, alla sua arte, dedichiamo questa nuova biblio-filmografia. Intimista e insieme politico, Moretti nei suoi film ha trasfigurato nel sogno, nel ricordo, nella pagina di diario, una riflessione aperta su se stesso come intellettuale e come borghese romano. Non è la qualità cinematografica, a tratti francamente traballante, a colpire maggiormente nell’opera di Moretti: a convincere è la sincerità con cui da sempre confessa la sua crisi, il suo smarrimento, le sue idiosincrasie, il suo bisogno di ripartire. “Io credo nelle persone, però non credo nella maggioranza delle persone. Mi sa che mi troverò sempre a mio agio e d'accordo con una minoranza” “Caro Diario” mostra Nanni Moretti intento ad annotare pensieri, progetti, opinioni, mentre gira per Roma, mentre va a trovare un amico e mentre si cura da una (vera) malattia. Il primo episodio di “Caro diario” si intitola “In vespa” ed ha come tema il girovagare del regista in casco bianco per Roma nel più caldo agosto. La città è deserta e la macchina da presa segue il regista che si muove in moto, coglie scorci, palazzi, strade. Senza una meta, senza plot narrativo, senza storia, senza personaggi: sono gli “appunti” del diario morettino, le note, i primi schizzi, le impressioni… “Chi parla male, pensa male e vive male.

The star of her film, a charming but hammy American actor (John Turturro) imported for the production, initially presents nothing but headaches and her crew is close to mutiny. Away from the shoot, Margherita tries to hold her life together as her beloVed mother’s illness progresses, and her teenage daughter grows ever more distant. Mia Madre premiered in the Main Competition of the 2015 Cannes Film FestiVal where it won Ecumenical Jury prize while Margherita Buy receiVed the Best Actress prize at Italy’s 2015 Donatello Awards. Characteristically self-reflexiVe and autobiographical, Moretti’s latest speaks to the poignancy of human transience, how we process loss and how we gain strength through humor. LOGLINE A movie director in the midst of shooting her latest film tries to staVe off a nerVous breakdown as she simultaneously contends with a difficult actor, a romantic beak up, a non-communicative teenage daughter and her beloved mother’s progressiVe illness.

  • Alienation and L'umorismo in the Films of Nanni Moretti
    LO SPECCHIO FRAMMENTATO ED IL PAGLIACCIO PIANGENTE : ALIENATION AND L’UMORISMO IN THE FILMS OF NANNI MORETTI Mathias Stevenson Sommario Quest’articolo esamina il modo in cui il cinema di Nanni Moretti usa uno sguardo autoriflessivamente critico per parlare della condizione frammentata ed alienata di un soggetto maschile, italiano e di sinistra, nella tarda età capitalista. L’articolo mette a fuoco come l’uso morettiano dell’ umorismo, con palesi tratti pirandelliani, effettui un sovversivo sdoppiamento artistico, poetico e filosofico. Si dimostrerà come Moretti usi l’umorismo per studiare in profondità lo straniamento sociale e la frammentazione esistenziale dei suoi personaggi. Lo svelarsi dei dolori, dei desideri e dei gusti del proprio autore fornisce al cinema di Moretti una prospettiva personale, tragicomica e politicizzata, che mantiene una pertinenza di larga portata. Nanni Moretti’s first feature length film, Io sono un autarchico (I Am Self- sufficient ), released in 1976, marked the arrival of a young self-reflexive, independent and highly original figure into Italy’s troubled cinematic landscape. Self-financed, using Super-8 and involving the acting of himself and that of his close friends and his father, this film set the trend for Moretti’s cinema. This idiosyncratic cinematic approach would forever be defined by an intensely personal inquiry imbued with Moretti’s own obsessions, neuroses, desires and humour. His work comprises a 92 further eight feature length films and six major awards: Ecce bombo (1978); Sogni d’oro (Sweet

  • 2017 MMCA Featured Program in Film and Video Reconstruction of Story 4: Multi-Structures, Ici Et Ailleurs
    2017 MMCA Featured Program in Film and Video Reconstruction of Story 4: Multi-Structures, Ici et Ailleurs 12 April - 20 May 2017 MMCA Seoul, MMCA Film and Video The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA; Director: Bartomeu Mari) presents the fourth installment of its Reconstruction of Story series, Reconstruction of Story 4: Multi-Structure, Ici et Ailleurs, hosted at the MMCA Film and Video theater at Seoul branch from Wednesday, 12 April to 20 May. If the events in our lives are the consequence of coincidences brushing past us, the overall story of those coincidental happenings is surely an undefinable mystery. The moment we recall an actual event to tell someone about it, we realize that it's already become a faint and imperfect image—discolored. Thus, the films in this program investigate stories where irony intermingles with coincidence, as well as the act of storytelling itself. Reconstruction of Story 4: Multi-Structure, Ici et Allieurs highlights films from three master directors who convert their inquiries about the fundamental relationship between life and stories into cinematic narratives. It will feature work by Alain Resnais, a renowned French director who evolved beyond formatting stream of consciousness and existential moments into montages by exploring the essence of our emotions through motifs that employ the drama of everyday life; Nanni Moretti, the creator of several masterpieces that take the ironies of contemporary life and depict his personal existence through satire and humor; and Hong Sang-soo, who renders the “unbearable lightness of being” that's latent within his conventional love stories of feckless men meeting sassy, spirited women.

  • L'influenza Di Pier Paolo Pasolini Sui Film E Sullo Stile Cinematografico Di
    Flinders University Languages Group Online Review Volume 4, Issue 3, December 2011 http://ehlt.flinders.edu.au/deptlang/fulgor/ ISSN 1446–9219 L’influenza di Pier Paolo Pasolini sui film e sullo stile cinematografico di Nanni Moretti: un’analisi Stefano Bona Flinders University ABSTRACT Pasolini e Moretti sono due registi-intellettuali di generazioni diverse, considerati figure di grande rilievo per la portata delle loro opere. Le similitudini che li accomunano sono molte e notevoli altrettanto quanto le differenze che li dividono: controverso e scandaloso il primo, meno „anomalo‟ ma non meno innovativo il secondo, sono entrambi registi politici dichiaratamente comunisti e capaci di intuire il futuro. Perché studiarli insieme? Anzitutto per l‟ottica in cui si pongono nei confronti della società, per le loro riflessioni sul ruolo dell‟intellettuale e per l‟importanza attribuita da entrambi al linguaggio e alla comunicazione. Poi, per il fatto che Moretti ha apertamente riconosciuto fra i suoi punti di riferimento cinematografici proprio Pasolini. Quest‟ultima ragione può essere presa come spunto per cercare quanto c‟è di pasoliniano nei lavori di Moretti, a livello di pensiero e di tecnica cinematografica. Caro diario (1994), in particolare, è un omaggio esplicito a Pasolini, che probabilmente va persino oltre le intenzioni iniziali del regista romano, e va pertanto tenuto in particolare considerazione Il presente lavoro è composto da quattro parti. Nella prima, si discute la figura di Pasolini. La seconda parte è un breve excursus su Moretti, le sue idee, le sue opere. La terza parte contiene l‟analisi di Caro Diario. Nelle conclusioni, infine, dai punti salienti dell‟analisi si trarranno alcuni spunti di riflessione.1 Lo “scandaloso” Pasolini Fra gli intellettuali italiani del secondo dopoguerra, Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) fu una delle figure più difficilmente inquadrabili: figlio d‟un militare fascista, cresciuto in un contesto cattolico, fu dichiaratamente comunista e (cosa scandalosa per l‟epoca) omosessuale.
