Ardenza
Daniela De Felice
2022 - 66 min - Vidéo Full HD - Couleur - France

Suddenly, a woman needs to write about her youth. In a curt way, far away from moral, "Ardenza" is the testimony of sexual liberation and political commitment, during the 90’s in Italy.
The young woman moves, bangs, suffers and comes. Her story is made of meetings, short and heady moments. She tells her glowing path through desire and bodies.
This movie is full of sensual energy coming from a moment of her life that still resists and quivers. In the background, Italians are about to give power to Forza Italia, battles between the left and extreme right wings are more and more violent.
Thanks to a plastic and mixed language, it’s a wild and free voice, a coarse femininity, which is at ease and singular that the film shows.
