Nanni Moretti Returns to Venice Competition with 'Succederà questa notte'
Nanni Moretti is making a comeback to the Venice Film Festival after 37 years with his new movie, 'Succederà questa notte' (It Will Happen Tonight). The film explores love, illness, and parent-child relationships, with some inspiration from Eshkol Nevo's stories. Jasmine Trinca and Louis Garrel star as Greta and Matteo, who cross paths on a tennis court and reflect on their lives. Moretti plays Greta’s father, supported by a cast including Hyppolite Girardot and Melina Åkerman. Described as quintessentially Morettian, it will be released in Italian theaters on December 3, 2026, through 01 Distribution. As he looks back on his 50-year journey since 'Io sono un autarchico,' he remains optimistic. A clip named 'Tennis' is also up on YouTube for a sneak peek.
