This is Bologna

About This Movie

This is Bologna is an intriguing dive into a city caught between its historical charm and an encroaching modern chaos. The film captures the surreal atmosphere of Bologna at night, where the old world feels like it's fading into an uncertain future. The pacing is languid, almost dreamlike, allowing you to really absorb the sights and sounds of this urban landscape. It’s a striking contrast—between the city itself and the various 'citizens' it now hosts: the homeless, travelers, and those seeking something beyond the ordinary. Practical effects and real locations enhance the authenticity, making it feel raw yet poetic. It’s more of a sensory experience than a straightforward narrative, and that’s what I find compelling about it.
