Genova

Genova (2009) is a Michael Winterbottom drama you can watch online on iFILM. After his wife dies in a car crash, Joe (Colin Firth) moves his two daughters from America to the Italian port city of Genoa, hoping a new place will loosen the grief.

Older daughter Kelly tastes freedom and her own coming-of-age in the maze of the old town. Younger Mary blames herself for the accident and begins glimpsing her mother's ghost in the narrow streets. Winterbottom shoots it almost like a documentary: handheld camera, the real clatter of the alleys, barely any score. Catherine Keener and Hope Davis appear alongside Firth. A quiet study of mourning, and of a city that heals you without ever letting on. Stream Genova online on iFILM.
