Our take

A coveted present for some and a reminder of regrets for others, the lovely red rose is rich with meaning in Marco Bellocchio’s multi-generational portrait of Bobbio, Italy. Contrasting the idealism of youth with mid-life discontent, this magnetic short crafts a sweet bouquet of human experiences.
