Opening Day of Close-Up
Directed by Nanni Moretti
Produced by Sacher Film, Canal+
A warm, affectionate documentary-comedy about a filmmaker's nervous anticipation and love for cinema, set against the backdrop of competing cultural forces in 1990s Rome.
At his cinema in Rome, the Nuovo Sacher, Nanni Moretti anxiously oversees preparations for the premiere of the film Close-up, by Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami. Meanwhile Disney's The Lion King is taking Italy by storm.
