Submission of a women
Out of time, ended up in the dark of the evening as the title says and
thus excluded from the lists of genre cinema that matters, this is a
small film that must be appreciated for many small things, perhaps
invisible at first glance, but interesting if we focus on .
Alessandro Lucidi a career more as a film editor, for film and TV, as a
director (in addition to this film he directed "Il Marito in vacanza"
and "La maestra di sci") direct a thriller based on the most classic
idea of the genre. A house lost in the countryside and ready to welcome
a morbid psychopath, a victim, her relatives and friends. But apart
from this banality, Lucidi pointing well on voyeurism of the murderer,
as to make us see everything with his own eyes and above all managed
very well the twist and ride two genres, passing, as if nothing had
happened, from drama to "Rape Revenge ".
Everything is entrusted to a really good cast. To start with Daniela
Poggi fascinating protagonist and morbidly spied who offers discrete
visions of her body and above all she creates a powerful character,
credible and well-built. With her a there is a number of little-known
actors to the general public as Paul Lorimer, appreciated stage and
radio performer, here in the role of a psychopath morbid but fragile,
Simona Vitelli, daughter of Demofilo Fidani and wife of the director
and Gianluca Favilla seen for example in some Marco Risi’s movies
and unfortunately died shortly after the end of the filming of this
movie.
Lucidi chooses to tell this story a narrative way not easy. Long
silences, long moments of domestic life of a woman, Luisa (Daniela
Poggi) actress for advertising that lives in the country with her
husband and young daughter. Really dilated moments that also risk a bit
'of boring, before it enters in the scene the bad besieging the house
of Luisa and upsets her life. A real psychopath that after a long
stakeout attack his prey, but it is a "monster" very fragile undergoing
the twist that reverses the game. From hunter to prey and this is where
the movie turn into the "Rape Revenge".
The soundtrack albeit almost plagiarism than that of "Twin Peaks"
clearly emphasizes the dramatic moments of a film that deserves more
notoriety and that apparently was made with State contributions. For a
time well spent.
