Talk about an identity crisis!
In a wonderfully funny and completely original comedy, French star Chiara Mastroianni in a bit of an existential crisis mode decides one day to morph into her very famous father, the late great Marcello Mastroianni.

Playing tonight in the official competition of the Cannes Film Festival, where the entire family has appeared many times as fictional characters, this time it hits close to home, but always with a light touch as Chiara drops her own persona and hits the town as if it were Marcello Mastroianni back in Fellini’s 8 1/2. Black suit, hat, moustache, large glasses — she’s all in. It all seems just as surreal as a Fellini film as Chiara looks into the mirror and soon sees the image of her father looking back.

On top of the laughs inherent in such a premise, meta comedy Marcello Mio has much to say about who our parents are and how we relate to them, but in this case it is truly unique as her
