CARO DIARIO (Dear Diary, 1993) *** Nanni Moretti and his friend that hasn't watched television in 30 years will put up with a lot, but not people who say "networking." The friend naturally gets hooked on "The Bold and the Beautiful," which forces Moretti to ingratiate himself with American tourists. Something menacing about the volcano on Stromboli causes the mayor to try to import palm trees from L.A., and you should always have a glass of water before breakfast. The Leonard Cohen when Moretti's on his Vespa is a pinnacle of the marriage between film and music.
