After the sudden death of his beloved wife, Joey and his two daughters moved to the small Italian town of Ginova, hoping to put aside the pain of the past and start a new life in the exotic town.
However, it is not as easy as imagined to reset everything to zero and start again. The eldest daughter Kelly, because she was in adolescence and rebellious, and Joey was full of estrangement. She dressed up and flirted with the handsome Italian guy all day long, and would not listen to any persuasion. This makes Joey even more frustrated. And the little girl Mary, who desperately needs the love of her parents, seems to feel her mother by her side from time to time because of over-missing.
It turned out that the figure of the mother was not Mary’s illusion, but the mother who passed away could not let go of her beloved family after all, so the soul followed silently all the way to Italy, hoping to help the family to stand up again from their grief.
"Living in Genova" is director Michael Winterbottom's latest work after the 2004 "Nine Songs" 9 Songs and 2007 "A Mighty Heart" A Mighty Heart, has always been good at movies Michael Winterbottom, who explores the subject of emotions between people, dealt with the story of family love and love in a family that lost his mother more vigorously in this film.
Everyone may still remember that Mr. Darcy, who was so sullen and cute in Bridget Jones's Diary in 2001 "BJ Singles Diary", and in "Leaving Genova", Collin Foss, who played Mr. Darcy ( Colin Firth) became a single father who lost his wife, and has a different moving performance in the film.
