Il Dono
by Michelangelo Frammartino
Italy, 2003, 80', colour
An old man waits for time to eat away his life. A girl possessed by a demon offers her body to strangers. Shattered boats and dismembered cars; a gallery of inanimate wrecks, appropriate counterparts to the cortège of ghosts that passes between them. A languid telling of a beautiful autumnal tale in Calabria, Italy.
