Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Director Nanni Moretti goes on three disparate journeys. First, he rides through Rome on a Vespa. Next, he and his friend, Gerardo, tour the Aeolian Islands searching for a peaceful place to write. Finally, Moretti, hampered by a skin rash, goes from doctor to doctor looking for the right diagnosis.
Hopping on his trusted Vespa, Nanni Moretti whizzes through the streets of Rome—and the winding paths of Italian history—in this Cannes-prizewinning travelogue. Unique in its blend of droll slapstick and sincere autobiography, this cult classic welcomes the eccentricities of life with open arms.
