In this exclusive clip from Paolo Virzì’s Human Capital, (Film Movement 01.14) Valeria Bruni Tedeschi’s character of Carla Bernaschi sees, in one swooping motion, the promise of creative jubilation being impeded by financial realties of the privileged. Our Nicholas Bell calls this familial drama “an expertly paced dramatic thriller crafted around what could easily been a generic narrative. A triptych of perspective based characterizations coalesce into an arresting finale engendering Verzi’s foreboding title.” Italy’s submission for this year’s Best Foreign Language opens today at the Film Forum in New York, and the Film Movement folks open Human Capital in LA/SF on Friday before expanding into other markets.
