"Love, death, cinema--they're all there, bumping up against one another beautifully." -Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

"For a drama about death, it's also incredibly funny--not just wry funny, but also body humor funny-making for an interesting mix. Moretti is able to pull it off masterfully, and with heart." -Kristen Yoonsoo Kim, Collider

Acclaimed Italian auteur Nanni Moretti finds comedy and pathos in the story of Margherita, a harried film director (played by Margherita Buy, "A Five Star Life") trying to juggle the demands of her latest movie and a personal life in crisis. 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.
