Ron's rages are sincere and — according to his wife — healthily cathartic. But can these splenetic outbursts loosen the grip of capitalism at its most monstrous?
Mia Madre (15)
Directed by Nanni Moretti
4/5
IN THIS slow-burning drama about the loss of a mother, Nanni Moretti returns to explore the themes of family ties and bereavement in his best work since The Son’s Room.
It centres on film director Margherita (Margherita Buy), who is shooting a film about a factory strike over planned lay-offs with famous US actor Barry Huggins (John Turturro).
