Mia Madre

Compelling multi-national drama follows Margherita (Margherita Buy), a filmmaker dealing with simultaneous personal and professional crises. Not only does she have her hands full trying to wrangle a problematic Italian-American actor (John Turturro), Margherita must also cope with her mother’s (Giulia Lazzarini) rapidly failing health, and a strained relationship with her teenaged daughter (Beatrice Mancini). Nanni Moretti (who also co-wrote and directed) co-stars. 107 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian and English. In English and Italian with English subtitles.
