Caro Diario ★★★ Dear Diary 1993

Three offbeat chapters from director Moretti's own life. “On My Vespa” has the director taking off on a personal tour of Rome, including its cinemas and their influence on him. In “Islands” Moretti and friend Gerardo travel to a series of island communities, including Salina, dominated by only children to whom their parents defer obsessively. “Doctors” finds Moretti experiencing a misdiagnosed medical crisis. Lots of charm and a certain shameless romanticism. Italian with subtitles. 100m/C VHS . IT Nanni Moretti, Renato Carpentieri; D: Nanni Moretti; W: Nanni Moretti; C: Giuseppe Lanci; M: Nicola Piovani. Cannes '94: Director (Moretti).
