Marking the directorial debut of Tom Moran – whose Amazon thriller series The Devil’s Hour picked up an International Emmy nomination for Best Drama this week – Romanesco is a wonderfully mind-boggling piece of philosophical cinema. It finds a young woman trapped in an infinite dream with no means of escape. The people around her appear to be on a loop, the scenarios inside the dream are constantly repeating themselves, and the hard boiled egg she’s trying to eat confounds her expectations every time it’s peeled. Inside this discombobulating chaos, however, is a large existential question, and despite the sizeable array of meta-elements Moran’s direction is expertly precise and the story unfurls in a way that is immensely pleasurable to follow. Dn is delighted to premiere Romanesco online, alongside an illuminating conversation with Moran about its swift yet immensely fruitful production and seeing how audiences worldwide unpack its many mysteries.
