More Giallo Awesomeness From Forzani And Cattet
If you don’t know the drill by now, then I suggest you take a look at my previous post. I am beyond excited for this movie and I’ve been following it for several months now. Bruno Forzani and Helene Cattet have crafted what looks like one of the most awesome and stylized horror films to come out in years, and now there is yet another clip online for the neo-giallo slaughter fest Amer. I’m going to skip any commentary on this one and get right to it. Amer is scheduled for a theatrical run in France soon, and they finally have their official website up and running, check out the link below the clip.
Desire has always been linked to one’s look. And cinema too. Luis Buñuel knew that very well when he filmed the shot of a razor over an eye with a detail shot. Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani recover this image in an experimental film with immaculate style. Someone watches a girl through a keyhole. The wind lightly lifts a woman’s skirt as a group of men look on. The fantasy of a dress tearing. Composed of fragments -of eyes, lights, shadows, gestures— and without dialogues, Amer delves into the life of Ana, always halfway between the real and the imaginary. A film of sensations, always shot skin-deep.
