film profile], directed by Paolo Virzi.
“In her elegant portrayal of a profoundly conflicted wife and mother,” explained the jury of the 13th edition of the festival founded by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal, “this actress crafts a complex performance of a woman wrestling between love, family and obligation. She layers both strength and fragility without self-consciousness, with a fearlessness to exercise both subtlety and restraint.”
Human Capital, the only Italian film in competition at the New York-based event, which came to a close yesterday, is loosely based on the novel of the same name by US author Stephen Amidon.
