"Bad seed". (original title "Non essere cattivo" - am not nasty) is the third and final film of Claudio Caligari. In a consistent continuity with the previous two ("Amore Tossico" and "l'odore della notte"., be seen as the culmination and the spiritual and poetic author's testament, died just before the conclusion of filming.
Valerio Mastandrea, great friend of Director and interpreter of his previous feature film, has produced and completed the work, which was presented at the festival of Venice 2015 where Alessandro Borghi won the Pasinetti award. The film is also a candidate at the David di Donatello 2016 (the Italian Oscars) in sixteen categories.”
The story takes place in 1995, but it is not a big difference with 2015 (year during which the film was made, Although he had a very long gestation) or with the reality described by the poet.
Cesare (Luca Marinelli) and Vittorio (Alessandro Borghi) grew up together and together they try to survive by selling drugs, petty theft and small scams. Drugs, criminals, violent, Cynics, We are witnessing their redemption attempts - which always - fail but we cannot see them as real villains.
If in Ostia common morality has no place, the figures that inhabit it are equipped with a deep and sincere humanity which blends without conflict with crime : Cesare takes care of sick niece small (the daughter of his sister died of AIDS) and Vittorio proves to be a loving father.
This difficult coexistence of feelings is possible by acting moving two protagonists, that exhibit rings, tears, joy and despair as two sides of the same coin.
Salvation does not belong to equilibria of Ostia, no redemption is not planned or possible, the single batch is only a glimmer of optimism in the future.
Sorry, the how form is closed at this time.
