Synopsis
The Staggering Girl (2019) is a 35-minute drama directed by Luca Guadagnino — watch it online on iFILM. Made for Valentino and premiered at Cannes, it pairs the director's unhurried style with a quietly devastating story about distance and return.
Francesca is an Italian-American writer based in New York. A family emergency pulls her back to Rome: her mother is aging and cannot manage alone. Julianne Moore and Marta Keller play a daughter and mother whose relationship holds decades of unspoken weight. Kyle MacLachlan, Kiki Layne, and Mia Goth round out the cast.
The apartment Francesca comes back to is filled with her mother's art — paintings that act as memory made visible. Guadagnino uses them to blur the line between what was and what remains. Brief but dense, the film rewards attention in ways most features don't manage in two hours. Stream The Staggering Girl (2019) online on iFILM.
