Lord of the Ants
Dir.: Gianni Amelio | 130 minutes

Lord of the Ants

Italy 2022 | 130 minutes | Italian | Hebrew, English subtitles

In the 1960s, poet and playwright, Aldo Braibanti, received a nine-year prison sentence for having a bad influence on another person, when he was, in fact, judged for homosexuality. Lord of the Ants explores the social conflicts of Italy in the 1960s but aims just as much for the current political and social atmosphere of prejudice. As much as this is an infuriating social portrait, there is also a portrayal of a restrained hero who finally finds a path to his feelings.

Original title:
Il signore delle formiche
