Ostia
Two anarchistic brothers live by petty thievery and try to recover from their Catholic upbringing. Bandiera and Rabbino were children when they pushed their drunk of a father out of a window for killing their pet sheep. When a girl is raped by her father, she is brought by young "rescuers" to the home of the two brothers who then watch their friends take advantage of her sexually. The brothers take her in, and the three live happy and celibate if not uneventful lives until the brother's are sent to jail for stealing.
This film offers a profoundly bleak and raw exploration of human existence, steeped in an unsettling atmosphere. It's a slow-burn descent into moral ambiguity and social alienation, observing lives on the fringes with a stark, unflinching gaze. Expect a challenging, visceral experience that lingers.
