    Subtitled Tuesday: My Mother

    On October 6th our regular screening program 'Subtitled Tuesdays' (with English subtitles included) will present 'My Mother' (Croatian title: Moja majka), new film by Italian director Nanni Moretti. The screening starts at 9:15 pm.

     

    At the heart of 'My Mother' is a trio of women: Livia (Beatrice Mancini), a teenager who has dealt with heartache unnoticed by her mother; Ada (Giulia Lazzarini), a grandmother hospitalised by an illness which is inexorably undermining her physical and mental strength; and Margherita (Margherita Buy), a filmmaker overwhelmed by personal and professional pressures. It is upon Buy’s shoulders that much of the drama rests as she attempts to complete a Ken Loach-style political drama, 'Noi siamo qui' ('We Are Here'), about the dignity of industrial action while coping with the decline of her mother and feared estrangement from her daughter. Juggling her time between the movie set, the hospital and the home, the doubt-racked Margherita drops in and out of focus, the film’s fluid timeline mirroring the watery ebb and flow of her dreams, memories, and experiences.

     

    Note: 'Subtitled Tuesdays' program takes place in Cinema Europa's big hall on every Tuesday, except when there are being hosted various film festivals, promotions or other events which are not part of Cinema Europa's regular annual film program. Screenings included in this program are always marked in our screening schedulge with a caption Subtitled Tuesday (HR & ENG subtitles).
