Happy Family -- Film Review

Empty

ROME -- "Happy Family," from Gabriele Salvatores (the director of the Oscar-winning "Mediterraneo"), is an adaptation of a successful play, itself a modern reworking of Pirandello's "Six Characters in Search of an Author." Unfortunately, the references don't end there. Depending on how you look at it, the colorful and light-hearted film is either a tribute to cinema or simply art imitating art.
