148) Giovanna's Father (2008) Dir: Pupi Avati Not Yet Released Date Seen: May 28th, 2009 Rating: 4/5
A variation on the blaise formula of most domestic-based "New Italian" films but an infinitely superior drama because nobody gets spared, any semblance of closure or substantial kind of solace. Brutally uncompromising and a very strong film from a veteran filmmaker. See my mention of it in my coverage of FSLC's "Open Roads" program for the House Next Door.
