Ears (film)

Ears is a 2016 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Alessandro Aronadio. The film revolves around a man who wakes up one morning with a ringing in his ears, a condition that triggers a series of increasingly absurd and Kafkaesque bureaucratic and social encounters. The story explores themes of isolation, communication breakdown, and the individual's struggle against an indifferent and often illogical system. The film is shot in black and white, enhancing its surreal and somewhat melancholic tone. It features Luigi Fedele in the lead role. The film was generally well-received, praised for its originality and its darkly humorous portrayal of contemporary anxieties.
