10/10
An excellent Italian film
10 December 2016
Following the path started with DEADLINE, Massimo Coglitore, Sicilian director, debuted at Tao Film Fest, with THE ELEVATOR independent film produced by Riccaro Blacks. A courageous film, unusual, in English, with excellent acting, great photography and beautiful music, with which Coglitore likes to wink at genre cinema, the suspense. But here we are faced with a film that has its own life, its own soul, no reverence or blinking but only a film made impeccably. Coglitore lends conscientiously to THE ELEVATOR, a film that directs so beautiful and very personal from the technical point of view. Impossible not to be charmed by the basic colors of the photography, that icy green, unsaturated distinguishes the lift and that amazingly does not kill the color but enhances it in order to create the ideal setting in which the characters move to represent a hypothetical, violent chess game, a quiz here, based on primitive instincts. There are many themes, instinct for survival, power, revenge. Extraordinary and magnetic interpreters Caroline Goodall and James Parks where around them prevail only human ancestral impulses. A well-written film by Mauro Graiani and Riccardo Irrera, with a clipped role tailored to evergreen Burt Young. The lift of the film, a few square meters of pure claustrophobia, imprisons Jack Tramell famous American TV presenter, isolating it from the outside world. It 'clear charges of Coglitore the ills of modern society. Men tend to ghettoized, close in sophisticated prisons in which they themselves are the jailers, isolating themselves from the outside world, and the various issues. The woman burst into the comfortable life of the famous presenter, catapulting him on a journey into the unknown, where one misstep means risking their lives. different social realities, among them, but something links them, a thin wire, a terrible secret. Coglitore deftly changes the order of the game and reverses several times their parts, with a strong dramatic where violence - exploding at night in that elevator of an elegant New York -It seems to arm themselves in the hands and thoughts of everyone, without exception.
