Caro diario

1993 · 101 min

A wry, meandering diary that drifts between amused observation and quiet illness, inviting you to share its deadpan, personal gaze.

Directed by
Nanni Moretti
Genres
Comedy, Drama
Starring
Nanni Moretti, Renato Carpentieri, Antonio Neiwiller
Overview
Nanni Moretti recounts in his diary three slice-of-life stories marked by a dry, ironic gaze: in the first, he rides his Vespa through a deserted, sun-drenched summertime Rome; in the second, he visits a reclusive friend on an island, who ropes him into an impromptu journey between islets in search of quiet; and in the last, he finds himself grappling with an unknown illness.
