The theme is not original and has already been explored by many movie directors. The acclaimed polish director K. Kieslowsky, for instance, filmed all of Juliette Binoche`s angle shots in Trois Couleurs: bleu, like a mother and wife trying to live a normal life again after the car accident that has taken away her children and husband.
"La stanza dei figlio" is Nanni Moretti`s viewpoint over the same kind of suffering. A psychoanalyst lives in a small italian town. He appears to be a happy man, happily married and a father of two well behaved teenagers. He spends his days listening to complaints from his patients. But, the job is one thing, the family another thing far from mind games and existencial questions. Giovanni, the psychoanalyst has a comfortable and relaxed life. However, his young son dies while he was scuba-diving in the sea. The movie is about the impact of this fact in the life of Giovanni`s family, mainly affecting his own life. How would he be able to take care of other people`s souls if his own soul had been destroyed?
Nanni Moretti wrote, directed and played in this simple and sad movie that won the most important prize of the international cinema: Cannes. It is not an easy movie to watch, not so much because the screenplay, which is direct, hardly daring in terms of language. "The son`s bedroom" brings the audience to point of tears because of the authenticity in which the actors show their emotions and contradictions revealed to the naked eye, after a tragedy capable of changing people lives from one day to the next. It is a story about strong relationships and their delicated balance.
Those who are thinking of going to see this movie, should be open minded to receive all the reduced gestures on personalities portrayed in it. They are> looking for something which had been lost within themselves . This is a human tale about how much of us belongs to those people who we have met along our own ways.
