Description

Born into an upper-class family with a doting mother who foots the bill for her indolent lifestyle, 24-year-old combative Amanda (emerging talent Benedetta Porcaroli) searches for boyfriends but only finds misfits who are repelled by her intensity. She longs for connection but has never had a friend of her own… until she discovers a long lost childhood bond, spurring a mission to convince another recluse that they are still best friends.

 

AMANDA is a playful, provocative feature debut from writer-director Carolina Cavalli, co-writer of another great indie movie released this year, FREMONT (soon playing at SIFF).

 

In Italian with English subtitles.
