Sharmill Feature Title: Quiet Chaos

 
Directed by Antonello Grimaldi, and based on a script co-written by Nanni Moretti and novelist Sandro Veronesi, this subtle and engrossing film expertly weaves one man's unusually manifested grief with warm humour, adult sensuality and a broader, palpable sense of social malaise. Quiet Chaos earned a massive 18 nominations for Italy's David di Donatello film prizes.
