La vita oscena

La vita oscena, an Italian drama, is adapted from Aldo Nove's autobiographical novel of the same title, published in 2010. Renato De Maria both directed the picture and wrote its screenplay. Isabella Ferrari and Iaia Forte lead a cast that also includes Miriam Giovanelli, Clément Métayer, Andrea Renzi, Eva Riccobono, Roberto De Francesco and Fausto Paravidino.

Bringing to the screen a story rooted in the author's own life, the film opened in Italy in 2014. No detailed plot summary appears in public sources, but the fact that it draws on an autobiographical source novel situates it within Italian cinema's tradition of personal, life-based dramatic storytelling.
