Mia Madre

After winning the Palme d’Or in 2001 for The Son’s Room, Italian director Nanni Moretti has only made two films since, 2006’s The Caiman and 2011’s We Have a Pope. He presided over the Cannes Jury in 2012, and is finally back in 2015 with his latest title, Mia Madre, stars John Turturro and reunites Moretti with regular collaborator, actress Margherita Buy, who will be the film’s main protagonist this time around. The film will relate the tragicomic mishaps of a committed filmmaker who is going through a personal and professional crisis.
Cast: John Turturro, Margherita Buy, Nanni Moretti
Production Co.: Arte France Cinema, Le Pacte, Films Boutique, Fandango, Sacher Film.

Release Date: Considering he’s competed six times at Cannes, we’re sure to see this be announced as part of this year’s main competition line-up, though Moretti sometimes premieres domestically shortly before the festival.
