Synopsis

The summer heat beats down on a residential estate in the suburbs of Rome. There is a sense of unease that can explode at any moment. Parents are frustrated because they are not from a better suburb, but their children are the protagonists of the shock wave that propels the estate towards collapse.

Our take

Inspired by Matteo Garrone’s masterfully grotesque style, the D’Innocenzo brothers add their fabulistic, darkly playful touch to the mix in their impressive second feature. The Best Screenplay winner of last year’s Berlinale, Bad Tales offers a brilliantly sinister look at life in the suburbs.
