The Bad Poet is a 2020 Italian biographical-drama film directed by Gianluca Jodice.
The film is inspired by the book by the Italian journalist and writer Roberto Festorazzi, "D'Annunzio and the Fascist Octopus", 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.
