IFF - Only Good Things at Roxy Cinema
IFF - Only Good Things
Presented by San Pellegrino
Only Good Things is set in a quaint town in the region of Rimini. Everyone knows each other here, and the community seem peaceful, affluent and idyllic. When a new family arrive on the eve of the Mayoral election the town's conservative social fabric begins to unravel. We follow Benedetta, the Mayor’s daughter, as she befriends the colourful multicultural family and even discovers romance. The traditional values of the community are challenged by a new need for tolerance, worldliness and empathy. The clash of culture, class and values creates ample opportunity for very funny situations, and, at the same time, poignant dramatic questions are addressed. I particularly enjoyed the grumpy, well-meaning priest doing his best to support the less fortunate members of society. The film cleverly culminates the narrative in a single dramatic night where everything unravels. A likeable and unexpectedly clever glimpse into small-town Italy. - Paolo Rotondo
Awards / Premi
Winner / Outstanding Achievement, Brooklyn Film Festival Narrative Feature, Best Original Score
Winner / Award of Excellence Special Mention Indie Fest Film Awards
