About This Movie

Working Slowly (Radio Alice) is a fascinating slice of life set in Bologna during the politically charged atmosphere of 1976. The film meanders through the lives of two friends as they drift through their days, connecting with the underground vibe of Radio Alice, a pirate radio station that speaks to the leftist student movement. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to soak in the mood and the era’s political fervor. It's not just about the laughs; there's a weighty exploration of camaraderie and rebellion here. The performances feel very genuine, capturing that youthful disillusionment and desire for change. What stands out is the practical way it showcases the DIY spirit of the time, blending humor with historical commentary in a way that feels both poignant and real.
