This is writer and director Franco Lolli's second feature film after 'Rodri', and it debuted opening at the Cannes Critics Week in 2019. I really hope 'Litigante' finds its audience, because there is so much to love about this picture. This is an authentic and tender exploration of a family, bookended with delicate - and seemingly organic - family moments. It will leave you smiling, reflective, teary, and hopefully above all else, inspired.
