Synopsis
A Brighter Tomorrow (Il sol dell'avvenire, 2023) is an Italian comedy from writer-director Nanni Moretti, available to watch online on iFILM. Moretti plays a filmmaker much like himself — ageing, principled, idealistic — trying to shoot a period piece about a Hungarian circus stuck in Rome during the 1956 uprising. His producer is also his wife, played by Margherita Buy, and that arrangement collapses before the cameras have barely rolled.
She leaves to work with a rival director. The lead actress keeps steering the film toward romance. New producers push for something edgier, something that sells. Moretti's character absorbs all of it while trying to hold on to the reason anyone makes movies in the first place. Selected for the main competition at Cannes 2023, the film works as a warm, slightly melancholy argument for cinema as a place worth fighting over. Stream A Brighter Tomorrow (2023) online on iFILM.
