Assunta Buonavolontà – Diary of a precarious worker

Directed by Silvia Lombardo

Nomen omen, the Latins used to say: destiny is in the name.
But not for Assunta Buonavolontà, who, as a brilliant graduate and talented aspiring actress, will have to leave her dreams behind and face her responsibilities: searching for newspaper ads, intoxicating herself with interviews at CPI and temp agencies, selling a sock vacuum cleaner over the phone, coping with an unstable existence marked by ironic daily survival amidst hallucinations, imaginary friends—Marcello Mastroianni and the White Rabbit—unbalanced roommates, and a philosopher-fugitive boyfriend.
She will thus become a perverted and perverse precarious worker….who loves to bend to flexibility.

Based on the book (published by Ediesse) and the theatrical performance of the same name “Diary of a (sentimental) precarious worker” by Maria Antonia Fama.

Synopsis

The complexity and urgency of violence against women show us how necessary a shift in perspective is in approaching these issues, and cinema—certain types of cinema—can be an extraordinary tool for giving voice to change, offering new perspectives, finally far from the patriarchal models society imposes on us.

From the words of the author Titta Cosetta Raccagni that accompany her short film OGNI LEGAME, present in the festival:

“…the problem isn't just talking about it, but how we talk about it. And we talk badly about it, steering the discussion purely down two dangerous, very dangerous paths: victim mentality and moralism.

It's as if they wanted to cure male violence with some of the fundamental ingredients that generate it. Women are killed within family and romantic relationships.

Yet the family, as it is, is never questioned and the relationship between men and women is never touched upon as the central core of the problem.

“Femicide” speaks of “females” and not “women” and focuses attention not on the killer, but on the injured party who takes on the role of victim.”

So here is “MARCH 8 ALWAYS”.

Good vision!
