An unexpected movie

I went to see this movie because it was recommended from some friends. I thought I would have found one of usual Italian minimalist films, but I had a big surprise: this is a Film. A very poor film, a "small" film, completely shot with a digital camera, with non professional actors, very close to the spirit of a Pierpaolo Pasolini or one of Godard's first movies. It is both "extraniant" and full of humor. I've seen it in Rome, and I think it's very hard to see it in another Town. It's a sin. Everyone should see a movie like this!

Experimental, not mental

I am always a bit suspicious when I stumble into a piece of experimental cinema. However I happened to love this weird one. A kind of underground/intellectual version of "The Passion", this one mixes subliminal imagery and particularly a clever use of superimposed text to try and overload the viewers' mental cache. Lots of impressive images, they probably worked their ass off in postproduction. Definitely worth a look for connoisseurs of weird cinema, or anyone who likes to explore how a film can let you exercise mind muscles you would never know you had if you only watched the mainstream fare.
