The film has many similarities with Moretti's life; her own mother is also a language teacher and she died while shooting the movie Habemus Papam. The scene where he hit the car against the wall was also experienced. Moretti also says that he used his mother's notes during his illness while writing the screenplay.
"Der Himmel über Berlin" by Wim Wenders is the movie the audience is waiting for in the dream scene.
Mia Madre is a movie rich in emotion. Especially the scene where the electricity bill passes is very successful.
As a director, Margherita is able to shape it in the direction she wants; She vacillates between the movies where she can finish and re-shoot the scenes she doesn't like when she says cut it, and the real life, where she is totally helpless.
