(2025, Italia, Svizzera, 87')
In an isolated Calabrian village, families bound by old grudges are forced to live under the same roof, turning every encounter into a confrontation. At the center is fifty-year-old Luisa Magno, rebellious yet vulnerable, torn between precarious jobs, love for her children, and furious quarrels with her mother, brother, and especially her sister-in-law Imma, her daily obsession. Amid complaints, insults, and impossible truces, three elderly aunts watch and comment like a tragicomic chorus.
With I Want Her Dead, Gianluca Matarrese continues his exploration of documentary, fiction, and theater, crafting a claustrophobic and ironic tale that delves into family conflicts and hovers on the threshold of crime.
