Channeling the Italian art cinema of yore, filmmaker Marco Bellocchio crafts a dreamy, absurd, and self-reflexive vision of Franco (Sergio Castellitto), a dejected director who goes from filming a bland literary adaptation to videotaping a royal wedding in Sicily. To cut through his depression, he goes about seducing the bride. "Full of brio and cinematic mastery, Bellocchio is having fun here, and I did too" (Phillip Lopate, Film Comment). An Official Selection at Cannes. In Italian with optional English subtitles.
