Il suicidio di un perito elettrico


Country: Italy
Year: 2005
Duration: 8\'


Crime news. A 49 years old expert in electrotechnics constructs a case where he buries himself. Only a few months later, his body is found in an advanced state of decay. Elogy of suicide, obstetrics of solitude, a reverse birth while taking the last leave of life.  "This is the first episode of a series about suicide. It will be ten of them. A sort of decalogue. Suicide of an expert electrician is a two shooting days' no budget production which is inspired by a crime news story. Just like the suicide character, who doesn't leave any messages or explanations at all but the act itself, I leave to you nothing but images.." (F. Guttuso)
