What inspired Moretti to make this beautiful and sad movie. Was it
based on personal tragedy? It feels so truthful.
How big is Moretti in Italy and Europe? First Moretti film I saw was
in 91. Mass is Over. An instant classic. But, Palombolla Rossa wins
hands down as his most inspired movie. |

My understanding is no, but it is based on negative evidence --
none of the reviews I read mentioned any personal tragedy.
See for example the Jan/Feb 02 issue of "Film Comment." It has a
long article on Moretti and a biting, ambivalent one about
the _The Son's Room_ by Harlan Jacobson.

he should stick to comedy (first 2/3 of 'dear diary').
these loss of son/daughter tragedies are getting annoying. there are
too many of these types of movies. |

it wasn't based on personal tragedy, but most likely there is something
personal that triggered his interest on the issue, namely the fact that he's
become a father. Moreover, it should be said that at the beginning of his
career, Moretti wasn't very fond of the trend common among young Italian
filmmakers of the late 70's-early '80s of indulging in a sort of
"autobiographysm." With "Caro Diario", everything changed. His perspective as
an author and a person took a turn. In that case it was his own illness
(cancer) which chiefly influenced his new approach.
ciao,

Beauty is in the telling, not in the subject.
Most love stories are awful but Jules and Jim is beautiful.
Son's Room is one of the most thoughtful movies about loss. |
