A Castle in Italy
French-Italian actress Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi writes, directs and stars in this drama set in northern Italy and Paris. She plays Louise, a former actress struggling to hold her once-wealthy family together and keep them connected to their beautiful estate in Piedmonte.
The film is inspired by two seismic events in Bruni-Tedeschi's life - the 2006 death of her brother from AIDS and her 2009 adoption of a baby with her partner.
Reviews & comments
Variety
pressMore than a mere affirmative-action entry in this year’s Cannes competition (where it is the lone pic directed by a woman), this low-key but pleasing arthouse item will earn more audience goodwill than much of the Croisette’s more fashionably outre product.
The Guardian
pressProbably the worst film of the Cannes competition so far: a smug, twee confection about a family losing their house
Sydney Morning Herald
pressInterweaves reality and fiction in a highly self-conscious manner that is calculated to keep us guessing.
