life should be good

My Italian Film Festival ended early. This is an unexpected movie trip. Of the five tickets, three of them are intact.

But "The Son's Room" is enough to soothe my heartache. It's the only film I've ever seen in its entirety, and I still feel very good rewatching it. In the first part of the film, Moretti easily described the warmth and troubles of the family, people's various emotions and troubles, without leaving any trace of artificiality; although the atmosphere created in the second half was too heavy and sad, But it's also really touching.

The reality is not always what people want. The full and pure colors throughout the film always remind us that life should be beautiful.

In Eno's "By This River" at the end, everything goes back to normal.



Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we came, came, came
I wonder why we came.

    There are two kinds of pain that science, reason and even religion can't eliminate in a short time - the defeat of love and the coming of death. That's why Moretti set the protagonist's identity as a psychiatrist and described the sermon and sacrament. The shot is light and delicate, and it is a masterpiece. But definitely not worthy of the Palme d'Or, especially compared to [Mulholland Drive], the main competition in the same year. PS: Broken bowls and pots are irreparable as in the past. (8.5/10)
