The Son's Room
La Stanza del Figlio
A family therapist loses his teenage son in a diving accident. What follows is not a study in grief so much as a study in the impossibility of grief — the way ordinary life keeps interrupting catastrophe, the way a family simultaneously holds together and pulls apart. Moretti refuses every form of sentimentality and every form of resolution. Won the Palme d'Or at Cannes 2001.
