IL SOL DELL' AVVENIRE di Nanni Moretti (2023) - Trailer Ufficiale HD - YouTube

In “Brighter Tomorrow,” Moretti, who often acts in his movies, stars as a Roman director who is shooting a period piece set in Rome in 1956, the year of the Hungarian Revolution when millions of citizens rebelled against Soviet domination. In this film-within-a-film, a Fellini-esque Hungarian circus arrives in the Italian capital just as Soviet tanks brutally quash the uprising in Budapest and the Italian Communist Party sides with the intervention, prompting Italian intellectuals to become disillusioned with communist ideology.

Moretti’s new film stars French actor-director Mathieu Amalric as the period piece’s producer who goes bust.

The ensemble cast also features Polish multi-hyphenate Jerzy Stuhr, Moretti regular Margherita Buy, Silvio Orlando and Barbora Bobulova. [+]

Nanni Moretti In Intensive Care In Rome Hospital Following Heart Attack

Italian director Nanni Moretti was reported to be in intensive care in a stable condition on Wednesday evening after suffering a heart attack earlier in the day.

Italian media reported that the Dear Diary and The Son’s Room filmmaker had fallen ill in the afternoon and been taken to Rome’s San Camillo Hospital where he was operated on immediately.

Moretti previously suffered a heart attack last October, which forced him to cancel his attendance of the premiere of Alessandro Cassigoli and Casey Kauffman’s drama Vittoria, which he produced under the banner of his company Sacher Film.
