La Merda

2012 52min

La Merda is a poetic stream of consciousness where it is unleashed the bulimic and revolting public confidence of a "young" and "ugly" woman as she struggles with obstinacy, resistance and courage for her own celebrity breakthrough in the society of Thighs and Liberty. La Merda is driven by a desperate attempt to pull ourselves out of the mud, the latest products of the cultural genocide aptly described by Pier Paolo Pasolini since the modern consumer society began taking form. A totalitarianism, according to Pasolini, even more repressive than the one of the Fascist era, for capable of crushing us softly.
