New Showbiz Analysis

Tutti a scuola serves as a satirical look at the erosion of traditional social hierarchies during Italy's 'Years of Lead.' The film effectively portrays the shift from traditional structures to a more fragmented, identity-driven society. It highlights the protagonist's struggles to illustrate the era's socio-political volatility. However, the film remains limited by its homogeneous setting and lack of diverse representation, particularly in terms of LGBTQ+, racial, and ethnic identities.

Official Synopsis

The upright prof. Filippo Bottini Said Pippo is an "old-fashioned" teacher in a Roman school. He would like a Heart book-style school but clashes with the harsh reality of modern teaching and in particular with the turmoil of the seventies: strikes, occupations, armed students, feminist colleagues. Overwhelmed by events, he will find himself more and more in the maelstrom of the post-1968 protest until he becomes a drug courier. He will be arrested and incarcerated, but thanks to the release on bail provided by his colleague Lalla, with whom he had in the meantime started a relationship, he will be able to redeem himself.
