CIFF23 - The Hummingbird at Lumiere Cinemas

CIFF23 - The Hummingbird

130 mins | Rated M


Direct from its World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, this profoundly moving drama follows the life of Marco Carrera (Pierfrancesco Favino, also in Nostalgia) from childhood to adulthood and the myriad of relationships along the way.

Featuring an all-star ensemble cast including Nanni Moretti (Three Floors), Kasia Smutniak (also in 3/19) and Berenice Bejo, The Hummingbird follows a life of fatal coincidences, losses and absolute loves. Based on the strength of memories, the story flits from one period to another, from the early 1970s to the near future.

Along his journey from a platonic love affair by the sea, to marrying a woman in Florence and starting a family, Marco receives the help of his psychoanalyst (Moretti), who teaches him how to welcome the most unexpected changes of direction.

Bringing the international bestselling novel by Sandro Veronesi to the big screen, Archibugi’s The Hummingbird delivers a story of the ancestral force of life and the struggle to resist what sometimes seems unsustainable, even with the powerful weapons of illusion, happiness and cheerfulness.

The Hummingbird is a very polished, well-heeled production that unfolds in luxury hotels and grand apartments, and takes in the twinkling lights of nighttime Paris and the lapping waters of the Tuscan coast. It is very easy on the eye and the soundtrack choices add to the plaintivel pull of the material; a Billie Holiday version of ’I’ll Be Seeing You’ is used repeatedly, as is The Clash’s ’London Calling’.
