Perfect cast and a good story

Overrated and overhyped

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

From my favorite movies..

a film like a parable. fresh, honest. and cruel. because it is only reflection of ordinary reality. nothing else. a ladder of regrets, angry and lost of axis. a tragedy but in a special form. because its heart is fragility. with many nuances and games of nuances. with words as circle of deep silence and fear as wall for self protection. it is beautiful because it is wise image of a piece from society. with many definitions, all fragile, with many crumbs of joy, hope and sadness. and with bones of grief. like a confession. like mask for survive. like smoke bridge.so, nothing new. only slices of search for sense. and the silhouette of escape territory.

Grievous, but thoughtful and tender. Permeated by agonizing sense of loss, this film tells a father's love for child, profound and penetrating into his life. Agony is inevitable, fatal and deadly even to a psychiatrist. Sometimes I "enjoyed" in sad films as indulging oneself in grief helps one to temporarily "forsake" the affliction of one's own. The musical is genial, By this River perfectly matches the stoic resolve and looming sorrow of the alive and incur audience's tears for genuine feeling. I like this kind of tender narration, telling of a sorrowful story in gentle manner. In the end, the parents drive to the border of France and Italy, and the scene ended in the blue sea, familiar sand and continuous hills around give rise to tranquility and peace, which, to some extent, soothe the pain and anguish. It looks like seeing the great blue sea is a kind of happiness. In a word, it's a good ending.

The choice of such a difficult subject is yet a good reason for awarding this film. That's why I perfectly agree with the juries. I also noticed that a good film never lets you down and "The son's room" is one of those cases. Despite few slow scenes (With three or more characters, some dialogues sound forced) the plot has got not less than three "re-births" in it (Syd Field would call them "coups the theatre"). The first half an hour rolls well. Moretti introduces the characters and set them in a mid-sized Italian city; he paints the portrait of a mid-class family particularly keen to culture and good principles. He also pushes on two of the main educational devices: school and sport. I think that the whole arrangement is what allows Moretti to develop this sad and thoughtful story. After the death of one of his sons, the protagonist (A respectable psychologist) faces a personal crisis. Also the rest of the family (wife and one daughter) get through a tough experience. I think that the key-point of the film starts exactly here: while the family tries to re-gain its balance, the viewer is meant to understand (as much as it is possible) what this family used to be. After weeks of mourning and lack of trust, a warm sense of self-consciousness and stability gets the story to an end.

This is a story about an Italian family.There are four members in the family; the psychoanalyst father Giovanni (Nanni Moretti), mother Paola (Laura Morante), daughter Irene (Jasmine Trinca) and son Andrea (Giuseppe Sanfelice).The life of this family tragically changes after they lose one member of the family.The son Andrea dies in a scuba diving accident.Nanni Moretti's La stanza del figlio (The Son's Room) from 2001 is a sad movie that is not supposed to be entertaining in any way.It is supposed to make you cry.This is only a story but this could be real.Tragedies happen all the time.The world is not filled with laughter and joy only.This is a great movie about one tragic event.In a perfect world this could happen only in movies.
