more information

A production in the neorealistic style that is constantly infused with fantastical and surreal elements.

Una tragicommedia all’italiana (An Italian-style tragicomedy), curated by Davide Oberto, is a programme designed to explore how Italian cinema has transformed social tensions and bourgeois vacuity into comedy – often tragic and ironic – oscillating between biting satire, social criticism and the grotesque.

The film is distributed by Cinecittà.
