Italian Film Festival - Gli Sdraiati

Gli Sdraiati / Couch Potatoes.

This is a great film even though the English translation of the film title is a little odd. Claudio Bisio leads this tender adaptation of Michele Serra's novel of the same name, about the difficulty of a separated father in relating to and controlling his teenage son.

Screenwriters Francesca Archibugi and Francesco Piccolo craft a funny and intimate portrait of a misunderstood father and intergenerational angst against the backdrop of contemporary Milan.
