Every five years Giovanni, an ageing but still very popular director in Italy, makes a new film. But something goes wrong with his new feature, a historical drama about the problematic position of the Italian Communists during the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956: the shooting takes one crisis after another.

“A Better Tomorrow” overflows with such ideas, which show a fresh engagement with the medium from the still-feisty director, now pushing 70.

— Peter Debruge, Variety

The film is partly autobiographical: Nanni Moretti infectiously revels in both a certain narcissism and solid self-irony, crossing a political drama with a musical, and a self-portrait with a panorama of contemporary film production.
