Looking Forward To Venice: La Vita Oscena

In a story taken from the autobiography of Aldo Nove (pen name of Antonio Centanin), Una Vita Oscena, director Renato De Maria takes the “tragic facts” of Nove’s experiences, who when his parents died, decided that he wanted to die too.

Nove chose a more creative form of suicide, drugs and sex, but instead of dying, he was “reborn”, making peace with his pain and becoming a poet.

La Vita Oscena stars Isabella Ferrari and Clement Metayer and will be screened in the Orizzonti (horizons) section of the Venice Film Festival.
