Haunting feelings, desperate search for salvation
29 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I loved this film from beginning to the (open) ending. An indie masterpiece movie. Feels like not so many people did appreciate what i consider a very underrated movie. Manson's got only a bunch of minutes, but his character is so deep and controversial. I suggest watching this movie with a group of friends, as after you'll see this you will discuss A LOT. Yes, there are some flaws in the plot that sometimes is confusing and "nowhere to go", but overall I think is a very very good movie. Nico Nicotera and Sam Quartin are so good. Wow, Sam Quartin...I love her character so much and her acting. She' so wonderful and I fell in love with her character at once. She's so fragile but also so strong. You'll remember a quote from Manson's character, about differences between good and evil, forever...one of the best movie quote of the last years, I swear.

low budget nice movie, worth watching

This movie is the demonstration that even with low budget you can make a good sci-fi movie. I do not care about CGI if the plot is bad and the story awful. The plot of this movie was good and the main character surprised me till the end. The beginning could make you think "oh no another mars movie..." but believe me this film is absolutely worth watching. All the team crew acts professionally, no dumb heroes, that's one of the points that makes this movie really interesting. It's not pure horror but is something that gets under your skin as the movie goes on, and it can really scare you in many scenes. Yes there are some little holes in the plot and the story is not perfect, but I really enjoyed this till the end.

Bellissimo bellissimo bellissimo
30 July 2013
Deep and elegant mental decadence in nowadays Rome. I did love so much this film, it reminds me some old classic Italian movies. Watching the movie I thought about Marcello Mastroianni, it could have been the perfect actor for this film if this was his movies era. But do not misunderstand me, Toni Servillo is in my opinion the best actor for this movie. Locations are decadent and superb. What I liked so much about this movie is also the rhythm, the pauses and all the surrounding characters that give sense to the whole decadent plot. When the movie ended, I and other people stood up and watched the screen silently. This is a movie that lasts in your mind for a long time. As sadness and emptiness are perfectly mixed in the main character with poetry and sincere joie di vivre, all surrounded with astonishing and unusual views of Rome.
