拿坡里少年自拍日記

　　《自拍》是16歲的戴維德·比福爾科（DavideBifolco）一案的獨特記錄，他在特雷亞諾的那不勒斯（NeapolitanDistrictofTraiano）被一名憲兵射殺。爲了了解一個經常被描繪成貧民區和“卡莫拉”據點的街區，以及戴維德死亡的情況，導演Agostino Ferrente尋找戴維德的朋友，並會見了Pietro和Alessandro。在這部電影的序言中，有人聽到他在攝影機前問，“告訴我你的友誼”，這揭示了他對這個一貫合作的紀實小說項目的態度。他讓孩子們帶上手機和麥克風，把他們的日常生活記錄成一部“自拍”電影，無論他們是騎着摩托車，在海灘上，和朋友一起玩，還是在廁所裏。在一個自我戲劇化經常成爲產品的時代，這是一種完美的形式。其結果是一幅令人印象深刻的拼貼畫，無論是視覺上還是在電影的音軌上，都是關於青春期；關於你的背景決定你未來的生活；關於國家專制；關於憤怒和悲傷，但最重要的是，在一個堅韌統治的男性世界裏，一段溫柔的童年友誼。
　　Selfie is a unique record of the case of 16-year-old Davide Bifolco, who was shot dead by a carabiniere in the Neapolitan district of Traiano. To understand a neighbourhood often portrayed as a ghetto and ‘Camorra’ stronghold, as well as the circumstances of Davide’s death, director Agostino Ferrente seeks out Davide’s friends and meets Pietro and Alessandro. In the film’s introduction he is heard asking off-camera, ‘tell me about your friendship’, which reveals his approach to this consistently collaborative documentary-fiction project. Equipping the boys with a mobile phone and a microphone, he asks them to document their everyday lives as a ‘selfie’ film, whether they are riding a scooter, at the beach, hanging out with friends or on the toilet. This turns out to be the perfect format in an age where self-dramatisation often becomes a product. The result is an impressive collage, both visually and in the film’s audio track, about adolescence; about lives where your background determines your future; about state despotism; about anger and grief, but above all about a tender boyhood friendship in a male world in which toughness reigns.
