QUIET CHAOS



Original title: Caos Calmo
In Italian with English subtitles

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Nanni Moretti: Pietro Paladin, a successful executive
Blu Yoshimi Di Martino: his 10-year old daughter Claudia
plus others no doubt

REVIEW
For reasons known only to him after Pietro drops Claudia off at school he calls his secretary to tell her he’s not coming in to work. Instead he says he wants to wait in the park opposite the school to be there when she comes out.
On day two he calls his secretary again and once more spends a boring day in the park.
On day three when he calls his secretary I got up and left. Enough is enough.

CLASSIFICATION
for brief nudity.

P.S.
I was not the first to walk out: I hung in for 35 minutes while four people preceeded me out leaving just a handful in the theatre after I was gone.
