Sweet Dreams
ComedyDrama
Michele criticizes the film industry and its inhabitants, and is particularly embattled with a Neapolitan director making a musical about the 1968 student demonstrations. At the same time, Michele has a creative block and struggles to finish his film titled "Freud’s Mother." Nanni Moretti’s self-inquiry into filmmaking, political ennui, and men’s relations with their mothers.
VIBE
A deeply personal, wryly observational dive into the anxieties of creation. It feels like eavesdropping on a brilliant, neurotic filmmaker’s internal monologue, wrestling with art, politics, and the ghosts of his past. A thoughtful, sometimes uncomfortable, but always engaging experience.
