The Bad Poet (Italian: Il cattivo poeta) is a 2020 Italian biographical-drama film directed by Gianluca Jodice.[1] The film is inspired by the book by the Italian journalist and writer Roberto Festorazzi, D'Annunzio e la piovra fascista, first published by Minotauro in 2005 and republished by Silicio-Editoriale Lombarda in 2020. The film focuses on the last years of the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, played by Sergio Castellitto, and on his ambiguous relationship with fascism.[2]
