Luna
Between a mother and son. Between the delicate boundaries of love.
Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci
Produced by Fiction Cinematografica, 20th Century Fox
A deeply transgressive, psychologically complex drama that uses incest and addiction as vehicles to explore maternal desperation, grief, and the blurred boundaries between love and harm.
While touring in Italy, a recently-widowed American opera singer has an incestuous relationship with her 15-year-old son to help him overcome his heroin addiction.
