LA FINZIONE BLU
by Marco Puccioni
Country: Italy
Year: 1992
Duration: 36'
A man and a woman meet by chance in a park. Both are crying because they have been left by someone and decide to spend the night together. The next morning the man offers the woman a contract, inviting her to sleep at his house every night She refuses the money but accepts this unusual relationship. The days pass by and the two live through a love affair that is as impossible as it intriguing while they wait and speak about their faraway lovers. Their relationship gets closer and closer and more and more intimate until the discovery of an unsuspected truth...
"The story is a reflection on love relationships. It is told, inspired by the existential romanticism of Duras but observed with the suspicious irony of Barthes. It is a film in which the classical elements of the filmic story (music, recitation, shots) are purposely estranged. The film asks for an attitude of involvement and distance at the same time." (Marco Puccioni)
