Boring and lifeless, unfortunately

Unfortunately this film is a big and very boring no. Coming from video art and theater, Masbedo make a huge misstep with their cinematic debut. Arsa is a figure that could not be more stereotyped: a pseudo-artist who lives in a cistern on a free beach and from there observes the world that touches her. Good premises, even if weak, that clash with a poor realization in the writing and superficial in the form. Boring, pedantic, badly shot, fluctuating acting, very weak writing for something that recalls "Parthenope" for emptiness and boredom, in the clumsy attempt to emulate the light and fairy-tale aura of an Alice Rohrwacker or a certain realism à la Martone, failing completely. An hour and a half of boredom and banality. Too bad!
