Glasgow Film Festival
February 15-26, 2017
The Glasgow Film Festival has become one of the biggest events in the annual film calendar, screening a wide selection of UK premieres and bringing star guests to Scotland each year.
The 2017 Festival includes a screening of Marco Bellocchio’s acclaimed “Fai bei sogni” (Sweet Dreams), courtesy of Soda Pictures.
Veteran Italian director Marco Bellocchio returns with an impeccably crafted, deeply felt adaptation of Massimo Gramellini’s autobiographical bestseller. Massimo (Valerio Mastandrea) is a successful journalist haunted by the loss of his beloved mother when he was just nine years-old. Finally confronting the secrets and lies of the past offers him the only possibility of finding peace of mind. Journeying from Massimo’s 1960s childhood to his life in modern Turin, the film features a standout performance from Mastandrea and builds into a touching portrait of the unbreakable bond between mother and son.
“Marco Bellocchio stages a gentle, eminently watchable return to some of the key themes that have haunted his 50 years of filmmaking”
