If you loved Mia madre, try The Son's Room

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Nanni Moretti, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mia madre, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Son's Room is

Ordinary People, if sun-drenched. A family in Italy is shattered by the sudden accidental death of their teenage son. Moretti's film observes how grief quietly reshapes everyday life.
