“…a film that's impossible to dislike, a thoughtful and haunting study of the ways a family copes with the unthinkable.”—Film Threat
Best known for gentle political satire, Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti pursues more character-driven drama in this moving, award-winning film. Moretti himself plays Giovanni, a successful psychiatrist with a stable, loving family. When his son Andrea is killed in a scuba-diving accident, Giovanni and the rest of his family reel from the painful loss. The Son’s Room captures the quiet, haunting moments in the grieving process with a light touch, aided by the intimate, knowing performances of its cast.

(Lucretius, De Rerum Natura I, 1114-1117) An (old-fashioned) English translation: "These points, if thou wilt ponder, Then, with but paltry trouble led along... For one thing after other will grow clear, Nor shall the blind night rob thee of the road, To hinder thy gaze on Nature's Farthest-forth. Thus things for things shall kindle torches...
