Housing

About This Movie

Housing (2009) offers a raw glimpse into the lives of those caught in the web of Italy's social housing crisis. Set in Bari, the film's tone is heavy, almost claustrophobic, as it explores the absurd lengths people go to just to keep a roof over their heads. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really absorb the desperation, and the atmosphere is thick with tension and a sense of entrapment. There's a stark realism in the performances, as they navigate this labyrinth of bureaucracy and insecurity. It's distinctive in how it doesn't shy away from the ridiculousness of the situation, while also shedding light on a serious social issue. A true window into a world many don’t know exists.
