La veglia (2010)
A peaceful home life is suddenly interrupted by the words of a political rally. A study of the relationship between individual space and the media system which seems to have completely replaced reality in Italy today.
The Radar read
A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.
Synopsis
“Marie-Claude Treilhou (Ateliers Varan) proposed that we make a collective film composed of various shorts that all deal with rage. Even though the project hasn’t yet been completed, right from the start I felt very close to this subject. I’m not talking about the emotional aspect of rage, nor its interpretation in a revolutionary key. Instead, I’m referring to a silent and constitutive rage. Los justos by Jorge Luis Borges was a poem which guided me as I wrote the short, like a serene expression of a radical state of rebellion, composed of the renunciation of power and violence.”

Open Double Feature RadarRadar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
