‘Marcello Mio’ Review: Chiara Mastroianni & Catherine Deneuve Play Themselves In An Amusing Family Affair Like No Other – Cannes Film Festival

A review of 'Marcello Mio' In which Chiara Mastroianni channels her famous dad in a search of her own identity being the daughter of two famous icons.

A fictional character also enters the fray when Chiara/Marcello comes upon a seemingly desperate man ready to end it all on a bridge, a nod to the same situation when Marcello befriended a crying woman played by Maria Schell in 1957’s White Nights. One scene is very powerful where she finds herself competing on an Italian reality show which does not take Chiara’s new identity seriously but rather makes it the butt of a guessing game, causing her to run out of the studio as far away as she can.
