This lovingly restored 30-year-old classic is our Opening Night Film and one of my favourite films. Director-actor-writer Nanni Moretti has cult status in Italy, Caro Diario won Best Director at Cannes, creating a loyal army of international followers. It was a surprise hit that now owns its place as a classic.
Caro Diario is autobiographical, deeply personal, and as funny as it is profound and original. It is impossible not to be drawn into Moretti’s warm-hearted, neurotic vision of the world. Divided into three chapters exploring different aspects of Moretti’s life. The first, ‘On My Vespa’, pays homage to his beloved Rome, the second, ‘Islands’, takes us on a literary journey to the Aeolian Islands, and the third, ‘Doctors’, is a reflection on his own health journey. Somehow, wit, a lightness of touch, charm, and ingenuity unify these strands into a coherent and unforgettable film. - Paolo Rotondo
