QTHIS WORLD WILL NOT MAKE ME BAD
Type: animation
From Zerocalcare, voices from Zerocalcare, Valerio Mastandrea, Silvio Orlando. On Netflix
Less storytelling and more reflection, with a narrative that proceeds by shots, impressions and points of view that overlap in the thoughts aloud of the protagonist. Zerocalcare, the versatile Roman artist, returns with a new season of the animated series that follows the narrative universe created and populated by the characters of his graphic novels.
This world won’t make me badthis is the name of the series in six short thirty-minute episodes, is in some ways harder than the previous one, less disillusioned and more immersed in a real and contradictory social context. Zero, the protagonist of the story, crosses districts of Rome in fibrillation for the imminent opening of a reception center for migrants, against which factions of the extreme right are opposed.
Zero, the protagonist of “This world won’t make me bad”
It is a story of our times, of slogans and buzzwords that in Zero, accompanied on his wanderings by Secco and the ever-present Armadillo (voice of Valerio Mastandrea) who represents his conscience, appear distant, but which little by little penetrate the imagination.
And they end up shattering their friendship with Cesare, a childhood friend who has returned to the city and “deployed” to opposing ideological positions. A bitter cross-section of a generation – the Millennials – of which Zerocalcare tends to become a collective biographer.
For those who love the universe of Zerocalcare’s graphic novels and a soundtrack in full 90s style.
