OFFICIAL ITALIAN SUBMISSION FOR THE 88th ACADEMY AWARDS
Moderator: Gabriele Angieri is a local stage and film actor, who starred in the locally made film Profile of a Killer, and appears this spring in the Park Square production of Macbeth. He is a first generation Neapolitan from New York City.
Italy’s official selection for the 2015 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film is a searing crime drama and astute social criticism, the last movie from acclaimed director Claudio Caligari, who died shortly after filming.
In mid-90s Ostia, a seaside Roman suburb, best friends Vittorio and Cesare are small time drug dealers, harmless losers eking out a living and seeking some form of grubby redemption. Vittorio falls for the beautiful Linda, and he tries to take the straight-and-narrow path, but his loyalty to his best friend interferes. When Cesare's ambitions take them in totally different directions, the only outcome is certain disaster.
A hard-hitting and surprisingly emotional crime film, Non essere cattivo is an excursion into the darkness of the human soul, featuring stunning performances by its two male leads.
