Movida
2020 · 1h 8m
MOVIDA is a quiet, observational film about rural Italian youth that trades plot fireworks for genuine human moments—perfect if you want something thoughtful and grounded tonight, but skip it if you need entertainment with immediate momentum. The slice-of-life approach and focus on a depopulating region give it real cultural weight, making this a solid YES for viewers who appreciate coming-of-age cinema with substance over spectacle.
Plot
Children play war between the abandoned houses of a mountain village. Tommaso and Riccardo with other guys build a motor tricycle, spending the summer between the parking lots and hangars. Lorenzo is the son of a transhumant shepherd, and he wouldn’t like to continue his father’s profession, but to spend a summer like other teenagers. Belluno is one of the many Italian provinces that is becoming depopulated. MOVIDA tells it through the eyes of children and young people who live there.
Director: Alessandro Padovani
