reviews

Bad Boy Bubby of  Roberto Flauto Roberto Flauto
Bubby is a kite, he is a cockroach, he is innocent, he is monstrous, he is a bad child, a good child, he is all of this, all at once: he is simply, hardly, Bubby. He seems to have no identity, he seems to have them all, all the ones that they are possible when you live in a box which is, at the same time, prison and refuge, castle and mud. The first part of the film is rather harsh, with an alienating and alienated atmosphere, sad and in many ways delusional. Bubby was born and raised in a basement that is the whole world to him, because he never left it. He lives (but is it life?) only with his mother (but is he a mother?), when the father returns to his life the troubles will begin: life will begin, the discovery, which are both, invariably, pain and light, suffering and tenderness , abyss and sky. He will leave that place, he will cross that door that separates him from the world, from reality (our world, our reality). It will be a crazy, desperate, tumultuous journey towards a life that, perhaps, can really be such. You're a bad boy, Bubby. You are hope. You're a bad child, you're a monster, you don't know the difference between poetry and blood splattered on stones. I hope you can forgive us. I hope that one day we will be able to smile like you.

plot

Bad Boy Bubby is just that: a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that his mother has kept him locked in their house for his entire thirty years, convincing him that the air outside is poisonous. After a visit from his estranged father, circumstances force Bubby into the waiting world, a place which is just as unusual to him as he is to the world.
