The Son's Room
AroView: A Palme d’Or-winning journey into grief by Nanni Morretti (acting and directing), playing a psychotherapist whose teenage son dies in a scuba-diving accident.
As the previously-contented family confront this loss, Morretti subverts and deepens his own Woody Allen-ish screen-persona with startlingly effective results. Both wistful and wise, with a visual freshness and pleasing lack of melodrama.
