Aprile (Moretti, 1998): Castle Cinema, 7pm
This film is presented by the Jellied Reels film club. Full details here.
Time Out review:
More explicitly political than Dear Diary, this again occupies
that intriguing territory between reality and fiction as it celebrates
both the birth of Nanni Moretti's son and (with some reservations) the long
awaited triumph of the Left in Italy. Once again, too, it's heartfelt,
eccentric and often very funny, as Moretti shares his anxieties and
joys, likes and dislikes, incidentally including his own manifest
shortcomings (paranoia, hysteria, self-centredness, indecision).
Simultaneously sharp and gentle, rambling and to the point, it
stealthily leads us into an ever stranger personal world, so that by the
finale, extraordinary images of the film crew (with Moretti in cape,
motorbike helmet and shades) swaying to the rhythms of a musical
sequence about a Trotskyist pastry chef (!) seem perfectly normal.
