Bad Tales

About This Movie

Bad Tales dives deep into suburban life in Rome, peeling back the layers of a seemingly perfect summer only to reveal a stifling sense of alienation. The atmosphere is heavy, and the pacing is deliberate, almost suffocating at times. You feel the tension simmering beneath the surface, contrasting the cheerful exterior of family life. It explores themes of psychological manipulation and the quiet despair that lurks in domestic spaces. The performances are strikingly understated, capturing that eerie vibe of normalcy masking darker truths. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects and the way silence speaks volumes really set it apart. There’s something haunting about it that lingers long after the credits roll.
