Co-writer, director and star Nanni Moretti loves cinema. It is quite evident by his latest film. He is clearly enjoying himself as the star and director of this "film within a film" comedy.
As director, Giovanni, Mr. Moretti is trying to make a serious drama about the Russian invasion of Hungary in 1956 and it's effect on the Italian communist party. However, everything in his personal life is creating havoc around him. His wife, Paola, played by Margherita Buy, is a producer on the film but at the same time, she is paying more attention producing a separate film. His financial backer is actually broke and his daughter's love life has caught him off guard.
The film also co-stars Silvio Orlando, Mathieu Amalric, Barbora Bobulova, Zsolt Anger, Jerzy Stuhr and Teco Celi. All well-know European actors.
Life gets in the way of art and Mr. Moretti makes the most of it. There are many laugh out loud moments, including a very funny meeting with Netflix. If you can find it, this enjoyable film, in Italian with English sub-titles, will delight you.
