About This Movie

Darker Than Midnight is a raw exploration of adolescence, identity, and the fringes of society. Riso captures Catania's Villa Bellini as a refuge, a stark contrast to Davide's internal struggles. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of quiet reflection amid the chaos of teenage angst. Performances feel genuine, with a standout from the lead, whose portrayal of vulnerability is haunting. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of isolation and longing, underscored by a sparse, haunting score. It's not a flashy film, but its subtleties linger long after viewing, especially how it portrays the marginalized. It offers a look at youth that’s both painful and poignant.

Director: Levi Riso, known for intimate storytelling. · Filmed on location in Catania, Italy. · Running time: 101 minutes. · Cinematography highlights the park's somber beauty.
