‘It Will Happen Tonight,’ Director Nanni Moretti
Every Nanni Moretti feature since Caro diario (1994) has premiered at Cannes Fest, including his 2002 Palme d’Or winner, The Son’s Room (David Lynch was Jury president).
But the Italian’s new romantic drama, his second adaptation of an Eshkol Nevo work after Three Floors, which shot last autumn in Spain, Rome and Turin, was absent from the Croisette in May.
A Venice Fest bow would be Moretti’s first since Palombella rossa in 1989.
Spanish distributor BTeam has dated the Italy-France-Spain co-production for Christmas, solid positioning for a Lido launch.
Louis Garrel leads opposite Jasmine Trinca (the female lead of Moretti’s Palme d’Or winner The Son’s Room some 25 years ago).
Moretti, who recovered quickly from a 2025 heart attack, is also taking a small role himself.
Interweaving several of Nevo’s stories, the film manages to describe our feelings today, our fears.
