The films by audiovisual artist Yuri Ancarani have often emerged from the interstices of documentary and fiction, but nowhere has that divide felt more porous than in his latest, Atlantide. A close-up study of teenage life on Sant’Erasmo, an island on the edges of the Venice lagoon, the film follows a smattering of teens as they fritter away their adolescence chasing each other aboard modified barchini (speedboats) in a quest to become the fastest rider this side of the Adriatic. Among them is Daniele (Daniele Barison), the closest Atlantide comes to a protagonist. A sullen teen with high cheekbones and a sorrowful gaze, his barchino races and tumultuous relationship with girlfriend Maila (Maila Dabalà) offer something of a narrative backbone Ancarani returns to in between all the film’s meanderings. But Atlantide, much like its predecessors, doesn’t unspool as a linear three-act drama so much as a succession of images and vignettes.
