Curiosità

Living Bad is a 2023 Portuguese-French drama film directed by João Canijo. For his screenplay about the hotel guests, he was inspired by motifs from three plays by August Strindberg. Starring Nuno Lopes and Leonor Silveira, the film portrays the story of a family-run hotel by the northern shore of Portugal, which welcomes its guests over the weekend. It is selected in Encounter at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival, where it had its world premiere on 23 February 2023. The film also featured in the list of Teddy Award.

Production

The film was shot over a 12-week period in early 2021 at the Hotel Parque do Rio in Praia de Ofir. At the same time, Bad Living, a second film was made, that focuses on the female members of the hotel-owning family. According to a producer of the film, the sound and content are said to be "two completely different films". "One becomes more interesting when you see the other," explained the producer Pedro Borges.
