Q&A with actors Michele Manca and Stefano Deffenu on June 12

A sui generis and darkly funny portrait of masculinity on the brink, Bonifacio Angius’s latest feature—which he directed, wrote, shot, edited, performed in, and produced—centers on a gathering of old friends at a decrepit countryside villa. These men set about enacting a Dionysian last hurrah—drinking, taking drugs, recounting their shared past, philosophically discoursing upon the state of the world and of mankind, and inadvertently revealing their own social (and maybe sexual) impotence. But we soon learn that one of them has a gun, and the proceedings grow increasingly surreal as Angius steers this provocative chamber piece to its inexorable yet nevertheless surprising conclusion.
