Nero

Dark comedy from the mind of Tiziano Sclavi who created Cemetery Man and Dylan Dog.

The story revolves around Chiara Caselli leaving her boyfriend for her new boyfriend, Sergio Castellitto. She forgets something trivial and sends Sergio Castellitto back to the old apartment to get it. However, when he does, he finds her ex-boyfriend's dead body.

Many shenanigans ensue which sometimes involve more dead bodies. A lot of the comedy involves Sergio Castellitto being anxious and neurotic and being put in strange situations with the dead. It's never LOL funny.

However, Sergio Castellitto really sells the film, and you can feel the suspense of his panic and not knowing what to do in some of these situations. And the film has a delightful unpredictable quality.

The ending is mysterious in a way that is comparable to Cemetery Man. I didn't quite understand it, but it felt deep without quite making sense to me.

This is for all of you, who are deeply in love with Italian movies.It´s produced by Dario Argento´s brother Claudio and it´s written by Tiziano Sclavi (Dellamorte Dellamore aka Cemetery Man). I would describe it as an Italian "Into The Night", but more grotesque and with a final twist, which makes you want to watch the movie again from the beginning. What more can you ask for? So, don´t be silly. Watch it!!!
