 Lovely
Rita examines the pains of adolescence, loneliness and sexual awakening
through the character of Rita, the rebellious daughter of repressive
parents, growing up in the suburbs of Vienna. |
 |
Rita (played by Barbara
Osika) is an unruly outsider. Her teachers find her rude, and her
parents lock her in as punishment. Her clumsy sexual awakening leads
her to intimacy with a schoolboy, too young, and a bus driver, too
old. These encounters isolate her even more, until one day Rita steps
out of bounds.
Lovely Rita is shot on DV with amateur actors and improvised dialogue.
