Ultrà

About This Movie

Ultrà offers a gritty glimpse into the world of soccer fandom, specifically through the lens of the "Brigatte Veneno" group supporting AS Roma. The film's tone is raw, capturing the intensity of the rivalry with Juventus Turin. As Principe reenters a chaotic landscape, he faces not only the pressures of loyalty and friendship but also the harsh realities of a group that has evolved in his absence. The pacing is deliberate, building tension as the match approaches, allowing us to feel the weight of unresolved conflicts. Practical effects aren't flashy but serve the narrative well, emphasizing the visceral nature of the sport and its culture. There's a gritty authenticity in the performances, each character embodying their part of the turbulent socio-political environment of 90s Italy.
