Lotterywest Festival Films :: Days and Clouds

Days and Clouds

Director: Silvio Soldini · 115min · M
In Italian with subtitles


From the director of Bread and Tulips comes a perceptive, finely-played exploration of a fundamentally good marriage during an unanticipated bad patch. Silvio Soldini’s absorbing, carefully constructed drama is about choices and commitment.

Set in Genoa it centres on a middle-aged, upper middle-class couple flailing in the wake of one partner’s professional upheaval – forced to face self-image, marriage and work problems when their financial world crumbles. What this couple endures is the ultimate test of their relationship. An unmissable film for lovers of Italian cinema and everyone who enjoyed Costa-Gavras’ The Ax and Cantet’s Time Out.

Soldini’s message of hope via the visual metaphor of a rare fresco, is that elusive new joys lie in wait beneath drab surfaces
Variety

Work not only provides financial stability, but also a source of pride and identity. Soldini has thoughtfully fashioned a human interest story out of current events by creating wholly believable characters and scenarios
New York Sun

Soldini’s ambition is to examine relationships, family cohesion and, beyond it, society at large, through the prism of money. The script is particularly astute in its analysis, subtly illustrating the links between money and conservative thought
