La Disubbidienza -1981- — Imdb [extra Quality]
According to user polls, the film is best appreciated as a companion piece to The 400 Blows (1959) or Murmur of the Heart (1971). All three films deal with bourgeois adolescence, but La Disubbidienza is uniquely bleak. There is no happy ending. The final shot, which IMDB users have dissected for years, shows Luca staring into a mirror, having learned nothing but the cold mechanics of adulthood. He has disobeyed his father’s command to stay quiet and obedient, yet he has lost his innocence forever.
The page for La Disubbidienza (1981) serves as a digital tombstone for a film that time has nearly forgotten. It tells the story of a director stepping outside his genre, a novelist’s difficult text being brought to life, and a child actor’s brave performance. While you cannot stream it on Netflix or buy it on Amazon, the persistent curiosity surrounding its IMDB entry ensures that La Disubbidienza will never fully disappear. For those who manage to find the grainy 35mm print or the lost VHS rip, you will discover a film that truly lives up to its title—a disobedient, troublesome, and unforgettable piece of Italian history.
