Luca Manzi (played by Karl Zinny) is a sensitive fourteen-year-old boy who joins the anti-fascist partisans hoping for a systemic revolution.
La disubbidienza is a film that resists easy categorization. It is simultaneously a literary adaptation and an erotic drama, a political film and a coming-of-age story, a technically accomplished work and a narratively flawed one. Its IMDb rating of 5.1/10 accurately reflects its mixed reception—a film that has passionate defenders but many more detractors.
