    The Films of the Pietrangeli Retrospective at MoMA

    Natasha Lardera(December 09, 2015)
    Antonio Pietrangeli: A Retrospective explores the filmmaker’s career from the early 1950s to the mid-1960s. It features 11 films, from Pietrangeli’s best-known work to a number of rediscoveries. As a major father of the Commedia all'Italiana genre and a leading figure of Neorealism, Pietrangeli explored the ever changing role of women in Italian society after the fall of Fascism. They have to deal with a new freedom that is attractive yet at the same time ambiguous and somewhat dangerous.

    Mia Madre: a Tale of Unconditional Love, Movie Sets and Loss

    Natasha Lardera(May 19, 2015)
    Nanni Moretti's latest film “Mia Madre” in competition at Cannes tells the story of a film director having to deal with a dying mother and other crises. Starring Moretti himself along with Margherita Buy and John Turturro, the film touches a troubling topic that all of us will face. Moretti's telling is sweet and sentimental and pretty biographic.
