The Son's Room

Nanni Moretti · 2001

Nanni Moretti’s 2001 drama follows a psychoanalyst and his family in Ancona after their teenage son drowns. Shot with unadorned naturalism by Giuseppe Lanci and edited with deliberate restraint by Esmeralda Calabria, the film charts the quiet disintegration of routine, language, and professional distance. Its power lies in accumulation—not revelation—in how photographs, letters, and unspoken silences reconfigure daily life. It won the Palme d’Or and David di Donatello for Best Film.

Caro diario

Nanni Moretti · 1993

Caro diario (1993) is Nanni Moretti’s semi-autobiographical essay film in three chapters: riding a Vespa through Rome, seeking quiet on the Aeolian Islands, and navigating misdiagnosis and treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Shot with quiet precision by Giuseppe Lanci and edited by Mirco Garrone, it uses personal experience to examine failures of attention in politics, culture, and medicine. Moretti appears as himself throughout, his dry, self-aware tone holding the film’s fragments together.

Abbas Kiarostami · 2010

Abbas Kiarostami’s 2010 film follows a British writer and a French antiques dealer through a single day in Tuscany. Their conversation begins as polite intellectual exchange, then slips — without announcement — into the rhythms of a long-married couple. Shot in natural light with minimal intervention, the film tests how identity, memory and intimacy are sustained not by fact but by repetition, gesture and shared silence.
