New Showbiz Analysis

Felicità is a film that disrupts conventional social structures through surrealism. It challenges the idealized nuclear family model by showcasing a dysfunctional family environment and criminal behavior. The film stands out by rejecting traditional Western institutional values through themes of moral relativism. However, it lacks clear demographic markers for higher scores in LGBTQ+ or racial representation. The narrative centers on a narrow, yet eccentric, family unit without providing explicit evidence of diverse identities.

Official Synopsis

Tommy, 11 years old, is on the road again with her eccentric parents. This time, her freshly out-of-jail father has promised her: she won't miss the first school-day of the term! That was before her dad stole a sports car, her mother disappeared and an astronaut popped by.
