Mini Review #2: Fondi '91


In Fondi ’91, a team of teenaged boys travels to Italy to play soccer, and anything happening after that is anyone's guess. The abysmal acting by almost everyone involved leads to stale chattering between characters. I could see in my mind someone off camera shouting every piece of direction. The film as a whole resembles a sixth grade production of Shakespeare: monotonous, stiff, and boring. I found myself wondering why people were crying, or mad, or beating up someone else. The characters are neither developed nor given any real introduction.  The audience is left with no emotion, having not been moved to feel anything.
