La Distrazione (2013)
Music: Davide Vettori
Distraction as a "mal de vivre": an existential condition induced by a stagnant and intrinsically violent modernity, and the inability to seize opportunities for redemption. For the track by Davide Vettori and Ilenia Volpe, I wanted to depict a family drama set in a film noir atmosphere. The private dimension of the tragedy narrates the reckoning, long after the fact, between a man and a woman who were once emotionally close, ruined by their complicity in a crime. Men as puppets following a pre-written script dictated by a conditioned ego; they persist in their prejudices and mistakes until they condemn themselves.
