Nanni Moretti's 'Mia Madre' at Cannes: Coming to Terms With Loss
Category: ENTERTAINMENT
Nanni Moretti's latest film Mia Madre  is a solid emotional voyage into what it means to face a  parent's imminent death.  Margherita Buy plays a film director who is making a movie about striking workers in a factory while her beloved mother (played with great dignity by theater actress Giulia Lazzarini) begins her descent to death.
