Nanni Moretti

What makes a Nanni Moretti film a Nanni Moretti film

Across 9 films, they run far more ambiguity, far less energy and much more cerebral than films in general. Their films resemble each other far more than any 9 films picked at random would, which is what makes one recognisable before anybody says who directed it.

The line down the middle is the average film. A bar to the right means more of that reading than films in general, to the left less. Drawn from every film of theirs in the catalogue, not a selection.
