Following the phenomenally successful The Last Kiss, Italian director Gabriele Muccino's most recent film offers a blistering assessment of the frustrations of two generations of an Italian middle-class family. Dad (Fabrizio Bentivoglio), a frustrated novelist, takes up with an old flame (Monica Bellucci). Mum (Laura Morante), a teacher returns to her ambition of acting with unforseen results. Their 18 year old daughter dreams of becoming a TV star, while their 19 year old son has no idea what to do with his life. Remember Me affirms Muccino's position at the forefront of a group of young filmmakers pushing (Italian) national commercial cinema into new territory.
