EXCISION by Richard Bates Jr. of

Filippo Margionti

Pauline is a sociopathic teenager, obsessed with bodies and blood (and surgery) and eager to lose her virginity. And she is the absolute protagonist of this Excision, which in 75 minutes tells everything it has to tell (THANK YOU, DIRECTOR), with a sustained pace and staging with simplicity and effectiveness a descent into the abyss of the most darkening madness. Pauline, I was saying, she is an ambiguous, controversial character, not always lovable (indeed)... but it must be said that she is also, and despite everything, a lonely girl. Or, even better, alienated. And how sometimes she makes us smile (her monologues addressed to the Eternal Father are fantastic, which are a bit reminiscent of those of Bess in The Waves of Destiny) and other times repulses us (... the scene with the deceased bird, for one) is it is undeniable that however he has his own sensitivity that is certainly wounded by the school and family context in which he lives. In fact, things aren't going well for Pauline at school, she is often the target of her classmates' ridicule but, whatever the case may be, she does absolutely nothing to improve her situation (some of her utterances are indeed memorable ^^').Even the situation in house is not the most idyllic: the mother is an unpleasant bourgeois devoted to appearance who would like (unsuccessfully) to shape Pauline in her image and likeness, the father a spineless little man completely subservient to his wife, and his younger sister, the the only human being with whom we seem to have a semblance of a relationship is suffering from cystic fibrosis. No one, at school or in the family, seems to notice or give enough weight to the increasingly alarming and alienated behaviors of the poor protagonist, underestimating and dismissing her actions as those of a rebellious and problematic teenager. All this will take our Pauline well beyond the boundaries of reason, towards an epilogue of INDELIBLE drama and incisiveness, which Read all

Alienated teen Pauline struggles with the pressures of fitting into high school, pleasing her mother and a burning desire to lose her virginity. With a grotesque curiosity for the darker side of life, Pauline is considered a social outcast by everyone around her. Enticed by flesh, she retreats into her own fantasies and hopes to become a great surgeon - that is, if she doesn't go insane first.
