Ci vorrebbe del sangue

Stalenti is a television programme in which the host humiliates the artists in order to entertain the audience. However, the arrival on stage of a special guest upsets the balance and causes the programme to take an unexpected turn. In this short horror film with a strong social content, the red colour of the curtains alluding to blood, the use of expressionist shadows and the shoulder-mounted camera shots helped to crush and oppress the characters. Moreover, thanks to a tension-filled soundtrack and excellent editing work that draws on the techniques devised by Sergej Michajlovic Ejzenstejn, the film manages to hold the viewer's attention throughout the narrative.
