BAD TALES
Favolacce
Es war einmal eine dunkle Geschichte, die in einer kleinen Gemeinde irgendwo auf der Welt spielte.
Eine scheinbar normale Welt, in der der Sadismus der Väter und die Wut der fleißigen, verzweifelten Kinder still vor sich
hin quillt.
Once upon a time there was a dark tale set in a small community somewhere in the world. A seemingly normal world silently festering with the sadism of fathers and the anger of diligent, desperate children.

DE: Gemeinsamen Abendessen, aufblasbare Schwimmbecken und gute Noten. Auf den ersten
Blick scheint das Leben in einem Vorort von Rom friedlich und zufriedenstellend. Doch eine rätselhafte Stimmung zieht sich
durch die Reihenhaussiedlung: Frustration über Mittelmäßigkeit, emotionale Leere und existenziellen Unklarheit wechseln sich
in immer kürzeren Abständen ab, die Illusion bröckelt und alle wissen – die Dinge müssen sich ändern!
Ein schonungslos beunruhigender Blick auf das Kleinbürgertum, in dem Vulgarität, Frustration und Wut das bleiche Licht der Sommertage durchziehen. Ein cinematographisches Meisterwerk für starke Gemüter, das zurecht bei der Berlinale 2020 für das Beste Drehbuch prämiert wurde.

Communal dinners, inflatable swimming pools and good grades. At first glance, life in a suburb of Rome seems peaceful and satisfying. But a puzzling mood runs through the housing estate: frustration at mediocrity, emotional emptiness and existential ambiguity alternate at ever shorter intervals, the illusion crumbles and everyone knows - things have to change!
A relentlessly disturbing look at the petit bourgeoisie, where vulgarity, frustration and anger pervade the pale light of summer days. A cinematographic masterpiece for strong minds that was rightly awarded Best Screenplay at the Berlinale 2020.
IT: Ambientato nelle periferie residenziali più isolate di Roma, il film racconta di alcuni nuclei familiari la cui vita sembra scorrere serenamente e senza grandi intoppi: in questo quadretto rassicurante, iniziano a nascere delle tensioni tra genitori e figli, con questi ultimi che appaiono diligenti a scuola, ma nel profondo si sentono totalmente soli e infelici.

Il film su complesse dinamiche familiari, sottolineando l'ipocrisia e la crudeltà che si nascondono dietro le facciate
di tante ville e di tanti quartieri residenziali e analizzando come, nei più giovani, certi comportamenti possano far scaturire
una rabbia furiosa e inattesa.
