If you’re not familiar with Italy’s Nani Moretti, then her latest feature film Towards a Radiant Future is a great introduction to her world. Released in theaters last year, this bitter and melancholic comedy made it through Cannes (no prizes, no scandal!) It’s a small thrill to see the filmmaker, who won the Palme d’Or in 2021 for The Son’s Room, reunite. His semi-autobiographical vein.

to a bright future, it is the story of famous Italian director Giovanni, played by Moretti himself, who is preparing to shoot a new film. But with his relationship in crisis, between his French producer and his daughter, who ignores him, everything seems to be working against him! Still on the ropes, Giovanni will have to rethink the way he does things if he wants to lead everyone to a brighter future.
Towards a bright future, Nani Moretti gives viewers her personal vision of cinema and politics, and it’s delicious. For example, you won’t soon forget his character’s hilarious interview with Netflix executives!
“With this film, I wanted different tones to exist in the same space, which is comedy, suffering”– said Nani Moretti on the microphone of AlloCiné last year. “Also creating a realistic style and a style that is not realistic co-exist. Interweaving different stories from the films I make and plan to make. And adding elements from my own life.”
Love of cinema, taste of nostalgia, passion for popular Italian songs… to a bright future It is 100% Moretti and it is a small miracle of elegance. Want to spend a dazzling evening in the company of a wonderful filmmaker?
