A CASTLE IN ITALY
Un château en Italie
Synopsis
This is the story of a woman who meets a man and allows herself to dream again. This is also the story of her sickly brother and their mother, and of the destiny of a large family from the Italian industrial bourgeoisie. This is the story of a world coming to an end and a new love beginning.

Our take
The Italian-French multi-hyphenate Valeria Bruni Tedeschi once again mines her own personal history for this intelligent rumination on privilege and mortality. With the fiery Filippo Timi a standout among the exemplary ensemble, A Castle in Italy is a darkly comic study in spiritual decline.
