# Ammazzare il tempo (1979) — Television & Cinema Intelligence Dossier

> **Archytele Living Vault Canonical Record**: https://www.archytele.com/show/ammazzare-il-tempo-1979

## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Ammazzare il tempo is a 1979 Italian drama directed by Domenico Rafele, based on the novel by Lidia Ravera. The narrative centers on Sara, a thirty-year-old journalist and veteran of the 1968 student movement, as she navigates the contradictions of integrating into a society she once rejected. Her journey toward finding her identity is shaped by her relationship with a teenager who lives without the burdens of past hopes or regrets, and her interactions with her partner, Igor, a psychoanalyst.

The film serves as a cultural mirror for a generation that found itself without ideals ten years after the height of their activism. It captures the specific atmosphere of late 1970s Italy, balancing the protagonist's internal conflict with the broader societal shift away from the radicalism of the sixties. The tone is reflective and grounded in the personal struggles of individuals caught between their past political stances and the desire for stability.
