Children of the Night
Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2017
June 1 - 23, 2017
Andrea De Sica’s feature debut is a twisted, genre-bending tale of abandonment and transgression set in an Alpine boarding school for boys.
Introverted 17-year-old Giulio (Vincenzo Crea) is sent to an elite boarding school in the Alps. Contact to the outside world is limited, and the students—all troubled, some territorial and violent—are constantly surveilled by the administration (which includes an unctuous Fabrizio Rongione). Giulio forms an unlikely bond with the most sullen and rebellious student, Edoardo (Ludovico Succio), with whom he routinely sneaks off to a lascivious nightclub in the forest—but their nighttime excursions don’t go undetected, nor are they as transgressive as initially thought. A twisted coming-of-age story tinged with elements of horror, Andrea De Sica’s feature debut is a tightly wound narrative that defies convention.
