Sicherheit

It looks like an old G J Arnaud's novel, a community study and hidden secrets thru hidden cameras network. A character's study too. Not a thriller, nor an action flick either, but on the contrary a psychological topic. So, don't misundertand about this film. I was at first a bit disappointed but after all, it's a rather interesting feature.

This is an engaging film of broken relationships set in the popular Italian resort town of Forte dei Marmi off the Ligurian coast.

It takes the mauling of a young student for these relationships to unravel. To be sure, it's a low key, sober film but it captures the viewer's attention. How the relationships unravel is the film's strong suit.

This film succeeds effectively in showing the viewer how relationships are fragile and that we've to nurture them for them to last. But, at the same time, healing is possible.

The actors, both young and old, performed well.

Watch it. It'll be worth your while. Ciao.

The premise is quite good, but the slow execution, almost tiring, dragging, discouraged, it became tedious, but the original idea, of the benefits and harms of surveillance, which can be used in a derogatory way, as unnecessary and humiliating exposed, but as evidence of crimes, alibis and accusations... But if you manage to overcome the initial ostracism, we were delighted with an excellent work... Wonderful outcome, the film reminded me of the painful "Jagten"...

The move plot could be interesting but it gets messy and confusing pretty quick. A lot of stories tie together somehow but the resulting mix makes little sense.

Marco D'Amore and Fabrizio bentivoglio are good actors and did a nice job but I didn't like Maya Sansa at all, I'm sorry. She struggles to show any emotion, she seems to talk and act the same way despite of the scene she's in. It's also very difficult to understand what she says, because of the low and unclear voice.

The young guys, all of them, acted well.

This is the type of existential movie we have a lot of, and love, here in Continental Europe but which are so alien to North American and UK viewers, so I can see why most English speakers gave it terrible marks.

Our cousins across the Alps are coming up with great dramas during this pandemic : La Vita davanti a sé, the Zero series, and now this one, Security.

Despite the title Security is not a police thriller or anything similar : it is just a good existential drama around the principal of a security company which installs security systems in rich people's houses in the beautiful real town of Forte dei Marmi - from this film and Google pictures I just want to go and visit it !

This film is all about personal dramas, family dramas, people's varying characters and how some people's character traits can lead to tragedies multiple steps down the line.

I loved it.
