The Double Hour (La doppia ora)
Directed by Giuseppe Capotondi. With Ksenia Rappoport, Filippo Timi, Antonia Truppo
Italy 2009, 35mm, color, 95 min. Italian and Spanish with English subtitles
A haunting neo-noir with a story that twists our perception of
reality, the debut film from director Giuseppe Capotondi is a
mind-bending labyrinth, full of dread and confusion. When Sonia – a
Slovenian immigrant working as a hotel maid in Turin – meets Guido – an
ex-cop whose wary cynicism and hint of melancholy matches her own – the
promise of romance is overshadowed by the insistently ominous. Before
too long that threat is made into a reality, or is it?
The Double Hour
is a film of reversals, doubles, revisions, hallucinations, doubts, and
fears. In the tradition of such great cinematic abysses as
Vertigo and
Mulholland Drive, nothing is as it seems, and everyone is in the dark.

ReplyDeleteQualcuno sa che Netflix o youtube o un altro sito ha questo film? Sembra bellissimo. Non lo so sono uguali ma quella descrizione fa mi pensare al film Inception di Leonardo DiCaprio.
