ARIANNA (2015) - ♦♦♦♦
Directed by - Carlo Lavagna
Written by - Carlo Salsa, Carlo Lavagna, Chiara Barzini
Starring - Ondina Quadri
"ARIANNA is an unusual and yet admirably tasteful coming of age drama which deals with an interesting topic about a girl confronting her sexuality. The titular character is a nineteen year old girl who, despite the fact that she is about to turn twenty, has yet to have her first menstrual cycle and finds it impossible to experience an orgasm.
It's hard to believe that ONDINA QUADRI, who plays the role of Arianna, is here in her feature debut. She carries a lot of the weight of the film on her shoulders, but does so masterfully with a tastefully restrained and honest performance in the delicate role of a girl in a delicate situation and on a mysterious path of self-discovery.
