Audition (2021)
What a ride!
The film starts slow, with the main character auditioning for a role in a student play at a university. However, it quickly becomes apparent how high are the stakes and that to succeed in his role, he will have to sacrifice more than he might be willing to.
The main character, Alex (Romilly Carboni), is delivered exceptionally well, which surely wasn't an easy feat, given the range of character's emotions, as the events transform him. Separate praise must go to Jack Firoozan for his role of Elliot - the mysterious and mostly quiet character, who's also responsible for some of the most powerful moments in the film.
The strong performances are further complemented by the expertly crafted soundtrack that amplifies the emotions, and, together with the editing, ensures the second half of the film grabs your entire attention and keeps you completely immersed until the very ending.
I find it hard to believe that it was the crew's debut feature film. With such a strong start, we can surely expect to see some of the names behind the Audition's success walk the red carpet in a couple of years.
Connected, Connection. (2020)
A story we all can relate to told in a beautiful way!
This story of a young couple separated by a national lockdown is something we all - one way or another - can relate to. The previous 'normal' life, abrupt arrival of the restrictions, the resulting uncertainty. In 2020 we've seen it all. We've seen days blend together. Experienced moments we wanted to share with others, but couldn't. And, just like the characters in 'Connected, Connection', we had - and still have - hope.
The actors, Giorgia and Danny, shine in their roles delivering performances that capture perfectly the emotional roller-coaster accompanying the lockdown experience. Watching the film you feel their pain, you feel their struggles, and, just like the characters, you try to hold on to your hope for a better tomorrow.
The film itself is also beautifully shot and a careful choice of angles, lighting, and colours all make it possible to translate a well-written and touching story into a memorable and inspiring experience.
'Connected, Connection' is made whole by its score. A wide range of music pieces perfectly captures the feelings of the characters and the emotions of each scene, making it possible to fully immerse yourself in the story.
