Nominated for Best International Feature 
Fabbietto (Filippo Scotti) is an average teenage boy in 1980s Naples. He is mostly concerned with fantasizing about his hot aunt, Patrizia (Luisa Ranieri), and with whether or not Naples is going to be able to lure soccer superstar Diego Maradona into a contract. A family tragedy forces Fabbietto to reconsider his priorities and his future.
Honestly, who the fuck cares? I am so sick of seeing a version of this exact same story get nominated every goddamn year. Can we please get somebody else's life?
Also, the incest subplot was completely unnecessary. Just gross. I was really hoping that she would at least only be related by marriage but no, IMDb makes it very clear that Patrizia is his mother's sister. In the immortal words of Cleveland from Family Guy, "That's nasty."
It's streaming on Netflix but I wouldn't bother.
