THE MOUTH OF THE WOLF
A documentary film by Pietro Marcello
A criminal returns home after a long absence. Falls on the fly from a train in a shooting in an old Genoa port amateur format. E 'Vincenzo, which crosses looking for the places of old, now discontinued, places that come to mind their former glory. In the small house in the ghetto of the old city, is waiting for a cold supper, and for years the companion of a lifetime. Or perhaps "partner" with Mary, transsexual is not very handsome, had met the "fresh" behind bars. He ended up there was a defect of irritability a bit 'with the world. Her for drugs. Then the coded messages to love each other. The dream of a cottage in the country over the city. Are ships without anchors, their desires.
The machine of Hollywood would have made a good story in 3D, even on a budget by actresses Oscar. But here is the acting at the levels of duodenal ulcer. Okay, ' you may say, is a documentary. To which, however, do not need the voiceover angry and gruff soul of a comment by Vincenzo images of paths, where viados tease an old man with his face just out of the madhouse. Okay ', you say, is the stylistic choice of director: two opposing forces as meaning, just like the character of the protagonist. Instead, we say that the signifier bored. It tells us that Mary was in love with him just because a little 'luck and a little lamb' able to cry in front of the animated Bambi.
Beyond stereotypes, does not even fall in love with us. Not so much in the subject, but in passing it. A documentary film produced by the Society of Jesuits (Perhaps a similarity to Christ a guilty sinner and modern, maybe in love with a transvestite?) Made notes from notebook to school without climax. A lyrical loaded, each time by seasoned video inserts of family album, as if anyone cares to view the absence of a story line.
One good thing: it only lasts an hour and ten minutes.
Last but not least . The rumor that Vincent, the protagonist, has been placed in front of the door of cinemas showing the film where just talking about him and think he shouted to passers-by, "Oh, Look, this is me." That's where RAI CINEMA spends money on new forms of "New Media".
Precisely for that reason: VOTE 4 / 10
