A crazy alchemist with persecution mania, is used to collect women's
brains, his favourite victims. Fallen desperately in love with his last
"exemplar" , he allows himself a romantic dinner with candlelight. A
small homage to German Expressionist Cinema.
"Self-produced with rudimental means, Oculatus is a pure
and simple style exercise; a nightmare in black and white that wants to
be a critic to all (or almost all) contemporary cinema. An experience of
alienation and pessimism, in order to desecrate images in an advanced
state of decay" (F. Guttuso).
