What The Dolphins Is About

The film tells one season in the life of a group of young people, most of them from wealthy families, in a small city on the Adriatic coast. They have nothing to do; their days pass sitting in cafes, talking behind each other’s backs and dispersing their boredom by hurting someone else. The account has no sympathy for this group; it shows with a hard eye what that wealth did to the young in the years when Italy was growing rich fast. Nobody is saved and nobody is changed. The film comes from the vein of the period’s cinema that spoke about class and emptiness. Claudia Cardinale and Gerard Blain appear in Francesco Maselli’s hundred and ten minute Italian film, completed in 1960.
