When I was twelve, me and a friend of mine would make out wildly with a girl from our neighborhood, ironically one of 9 children of a christian preacher. I've dished out and taken more than I ever could imagine. Also I'm sure you've experienced similar cruelty or abuse while growing up or you've seen other kids being tormented on a daily basis. The love triangle kinda mirrors the power structure between adults in a similar situation only that the kind of cruel games they play do reflect their age.Īnd mental cruelty is one of the most common grounds for divorce these days. When Eva comes into play the rivalry boosts further cruelty and Fabrizio tests how far he can go by pushing Laura to the limits, then comforting her again so she keeps coming back in the hopes he might chose her over Eva.

Laura is very much in love with Fabrizio and she's attached so much to him that she puts up with all his abuse. Not only wanted Murgia the viewer to acknowledge that kids are sexual beings before they reach puberty and often have playful intimate or sexual encounters with their peers (or teens a little older) but by showing the cruel (psychological) games between them he tried to contrast the romantic idea of the "innocent" and lovely child/teen that could do no harm to anybody.
#Maladolescenza parents guide movie
The cruelty between the young protagonists is an integral part of this story and an important part of the directors message and lends the movie artistic merits.

C'mon dude, if you read a little bit about the story (on this board or on other sites) you'd understand that this part of the story is exactely what makes this movie more than just a cheap sexploitation flick.
