Italian master Marco Bellocchio (Vincere, Fists in the Pocket) adapts the popular biographical novel by Massimo Gramellini, about a journalist who is haunted by the memory of the mother who died in his childhood. Memories are a key part of Sweet Dreams, and Bellocchio effortlessly brings to life those moments that are etched in Massimo’s mind. Eloquent on the subject of memory and loss, Bellocchio also looks at how incidents that happen in childhood shape us in later life.
