During the late 1970s, European cinema experienced a wave of radical experimentation. Filmmakers frequently pushed boundaries regarding sexuality, youth, and societal norms. Maladolescenza was a joint West German and Italian co-production, filmed amidst the picturesque but isolating landscapes of the Alpine forests.
The film revolves around the story of two teenage boys, Mario and Luca, who are struggling to find their place in the world. The story takes place in a bourgeois Italian town, where the two protagonists feel suffocated by the monotony and hypocrisy of their social environment. As they navigate their adolescence, they engage in rebellious and provocative behavior, seeking to challenge the status quo and assert their individuality. maladolescenza 1977 dvd rip with english subt top
