New Showbiz Analysis

Ugo Giorgetti’s *Festa* primarily focuses on social stratification. By centering the perspective of the working class—such as a harmonica player, a pool player, and an assistant—the film shifts the focus away from the elite. However, the film stays tied to the social norms of its time. It highlights the tension between the performing upper class and the observing lower class, but it does not delve into multi-layered identity politics. While it offers a critique of class-based power dynamics, it lacks significant representation of race, gender subversion, or LGBTQ+ identities.
