Review of

Il Buio In Sala - Giuseppe Armellini

My goodness, what a shame. Censor had all it takes to become "my" film. Extraordinary subject, very interesting subtexts, staging at times of the highest level. And distressing, and "sick", and somehow new. And yet no, yet what remains a good film remains head and shoulders below what it could have been. With the very strong (and rare) feeling of having found myself in front of an author who on paper really has everything to be defined as such but who then, in this film, when he had to translate the things he had in his head into images, he did not (yet) have the competence, the hand and the grace to do so. I tell the truth, I hoped to find another Possessor in front of me but, alas, the hope it lasted a maximum of half an hour. We are in the mid-80s, in England. There has now been a boom in VHS tapes and especially those of hyper-violent, cynical, amoral films and visually at the limit of the acceptable. Enid (a splendid actress unknown to me until now, truly one of the best things that the film leaves you with) works on a sort of censorship commission (I think state) which cuts and shreds horror films, assigns the various censor visas (the age groups) and, ultimately, she can refuse a work altogether. But there is something terrible in Enid's past, namely the disappearance (20 years earlier, in a wood with her) of her little sister. This past of hers is mixed in an increasingly morbid and disturbing way to his work, to the films he sees... There are many beautiful things about Censor and this is why I think about how, however you turn it, we still find ourselves in front of a good film. Meanwhile , for example, the telling of a world so close and yet so distant to the present day like that of home video. I was a video store owner, even though I started when the consumption of VHS tapes was already over Read all

plot

Film censor Enid takes pride in her meticulous work, guarding unsuspecting audiences from the deleterious effects of watching the gore-filled movies she pores over. Her sense of duty to protect is amplified by guilt over her inability to recall details of the long-ago disappearance of her sister. When Enid is assigned to review a disturbing film from the archive that echoes her hazy childhood memories, she begins to unravel how this eerie work might be tied to her past.
