20° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL

Appuntamento al Buio

Blind Date Digital Style

Country: Italy
Year: 2002
Duration: 13'


Anna is waiting in the house of a guy she met through Internet and whom she has never seen before. Two thieves prepare to easily break into a house they think is empty. Anna thinks that the young, inexperienced thief is her "blind date", setting off a series of mix-ups that involve a less-than-scrupulous policeman and the young thief's accomplice.

"This film is an homage to
Big Deal and to all those comedies which, who knows why, are never produced in Italy anymore. With a dash of Internet, and a wink at Blake Edwards and Billy Wilder" (H.S. Paragnani).
