Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Pointed, poignant and marvellously droll Moretti short in which he worries about the opening, at his Nuovo Sacher cinema in Rome, of a Kiarostami masterpiece against stiff competition from the likes of The Lion King. One of the best and most honest movies ever made about the headaches of running an indie art cinema.
