Nonna's Trip (El Viaje de la Nonna)

Directed by Sebastián Silva, who is primarily an AD, has worked in numerous films and among them were Babel, Before Night Falls and Titanic. A Mexican production.

After her husband passed away, all Nonna wanted to do was to visit Italy, to a little town where he was from. Since she was already very old and had started to forget things, her family thought there would be no point getting her to Italy and experience a trip that she would soon forget anyway. But eventually they decided to take their beloved grandmother and embark on a trip, with a video camera along the way.

Kinda unexpected, funny, quite charming.. I really liked the idea. It sure was able to bring some laughs and the story was rather touching. It's not that good for me because sometimes the jokes tired out and even though the theme is obviously family, somehow I didn't feel like it reached out. But it certainly was entertaining and made the audience laughed throughout the film. But anyway, it's pretty good. The idea really bought me.
