Cristina Comencini

Director

Italian film director, screenwriter and novelist; daughter of filmmaker Luigi Comencini.

La Bestia Nel Cuore was presented at Venice and Berlin and represented Italy at the 2006 Oscars; Giovanna Mezzogiorno won the Coppa Volpi 2005 for her performance in that film. Reviews discuss Comencini's focus on family secrets, memory and domestic trauma.

Two DeBaser reviews discuss Cristina Comencini's films, focusing on family secrets, childhood trauma and ironic touches. La Bestia Nel Cuore is described as intense and realistic; Il più bel giorno della mia vita is treated with wry commentary on bourgeois family life and character moments.

For:Viewers interested in Italian cinema, intense family dramas and films that handle difficult social themes with ironic touches.

 A wise saying goes: «There are three types of secrets: those we confide only to a friend, those we confide only to ourselves and those we do not even confide to ourselves».
