I´ve heard that Marco Ferreri was a provocateur filmmaker and yeah, I can see that. “The Story of Piera” is a bizarre coming of age film that follows a girl/young woman with a……let´s say complicated and eccentric relationship with both her parents. Either relationship has strong incestuous overtones, and both parents eventually end up in a mental asylum. I don´t quite know what to think about this film, since I don´t fully understand the symbolism and themes, but I enjoyed the dreamy, off-kilter vibe. Also, with Isabelle Huppert, Marcello Mastroianni, and Hanna Schygulla, the movie stars royalty of European arthouse cinema. I guess what I take home from this is that if you have a complicated relationship with your mother, maybe you two need to hug it out naked on a beach.
