(AGI) Rome, Sept 7 - "Non Essere Cattivo" ("Don't Be Bad") byItalian film director Claudio Caligari was screened at theVenice Film Festival on Monday. "It is the final shot ofPasolini's world," the director had said explaining the deepestmeaning of the film, which is to be released posthumously onTuesday. It is being shown in the festival's non-competingsection. The director died on May 26, shortly after completingthe second edit of the film. Valerio Mastandrea, his friend andthe film's producer, took care of the final editing as he hadassisted the director with most of the filming. He said: "Myonly regret is that 'Non Essere Cattivo' is not in thecompetition and that these actors cannot be judged by aninternational jury." The Roman-born actor, who was also in the1998 film "The Scent of the Night" ("L'odore della notte"),went on: "To be at the Venice Film Festival is the achievementof a goal and the beginning of a new experience that willspread to all Italian cinema theatres tomorrow. We are all verytouched by the emotions that this experience gave us and thatflood us today, like the waves of the sea." The film tells thestory of two very close friends: Cesare (similar to thecharacter in "Amore tossico-Toxic Love", 1983) who is played byLuca Marinelli and Vittorio (Alessandro Borghi). There is adeep bond of friendship between the two young men, who spendtheir lives dealing drugs, shooting up, robbing and taking oneday at a time in Ostia, Rome's port, before the Mafia set itshands on it. "Non essere cattivo" is a more complete film thanthe one shot 30 years ago: the characters are better definedand their family problems are a pervasive part of the story."Claudio tells a little story about an immense friendshipbetween two human beings against the backdrop of a corruptingand degrading social context. He wanted to show that purefeelings mainly belong to a socially excluded segment of thepopulation," said Mr Mastandrea. "Don't Be Bad", a title thatsounds like another Commandment, closes a trilogy ("Toxic Love"and "The Scent of the Night") inspired by the work of PierPaolo Pasolini, the Italian film director, poet, writer andintellectual. Caligari brought both of his other films toVenice. Mr Mastandrea wnt on: "Claudio talked about theillusion that work could be society's main asset. Claudio usedto say: 'This film will mark the end of the Pasolinian era.' Hemeant the era of candour and pureness of Pasolini's stories,which are also in Claudio's film. It narrates a micro-cosmosfrom the grassroots, without the comfort of consolation. Thesecharacters lose that purity and decide for their lives." . .
