Adolescence (2025) : una penetrante miniserie britannica sulla sofferenza mentale in adolescenza e le sue perniciose messe in atto

fra Ombra e possibilità di integrazione, gli autori cercano di far emergere come, anche nelle circostanze più inquietanti, possa germogliare una speranza di crescita interiore. [Testo dell'editore]

The authors examine the miniseries Adolescence (Netflix, 2025), in four episodes (each of which is wholly shot by the single-take visual narrative style). The spectator is involved in the story of Jamie Miller, a thirteen-year-old boy, who is accused of the murder of Katie, a schoolmate of his. Adolescence is showing us different settings (the police station, the high school corridors, the Safe Training Center, Millers' home, etc.), keeping our constant attention on main characters' pain. The third episode contains an interview of Jamie by the psychologist Briony Ariston, that must evaluate the crime motive and the boy's true understanding of it; despite the seriousness and violence of the dialogue, some precious emotional openness is appearing. In Jungian dialectics between Shadow and Integration, the authors are trying to highlight the potentiality of internal growth even in the most uncanny situations. [Publisher's Text]
