Caterina in the Big City

Italy

Here we follow a teen naif who moves to Rome with her family, encounters rabid political cliques in her high school and, I guess, learns life lessons.

This film was fatally marred by the father's character who was irritating in the extreme...loud, pathologically overbearing, narcissistic...about as big a jerk as has ever appeared on the screen. I couldn't bear watching him make an utter ass of himself and had to turn it off.

There might have been something there with the daughter's character and the clumsy commentary on contemporary Italian society but she was buried in an avalanche of his idiocy.
