![]() After his death the group reunites to consider completing his long unfinished film. “ The Palace (Unfinished)” is Federica Di Giacomo’s documentary about a building in Rome that served as an artist colony for an experimental filmmaker and his friends. There are many beautiful, moving moments in each part of the film but “The Nail” (filmed in color and set in Brooklyn) seems tacked on rather than being integral to the whole story. “ Leonora Addio” is mostly about the transportation of the cremated ashes of Italian literary great Luigi Pirandello after WWII, with some references to classics of Italian Neo-Realism and even a previous Taviani film and then it ends with a dramatization of “The Nail,” one of Pirandello’s last short stories. Paolo Taviani’s latest film, his first without his late brother Vittorio co-directing, has some great images and scenes but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The exciting soundtrack was composed by Andrea Boccadoro. Hleb Papou’s feature debut is a gripping portrayal of both the lives of the riot cops and the protesting tenants. Eventually Daniel will have to participate in evicting the tenants and he must do what he can to protect his family and keep his job. His younger brother and mother choose to live in an abandoned building that has been occupied by a group of tenants for sixteen years. His white Italian wife is pregnant and he fears losing the good job that has given him, an immigrant, a comfortable life. Neither does he complain about the racist nickname (“Hot Choc”) his fellow cops use for him. During fighting practice he is assaulted by racial slurs to test his professionalism but that is only to prepare him for the real abuse he will receive during actual protests. He’s respected by his boss (who unbeknownst to him belongs to a racist far-right group) and colleagues and loves his job. Germano Gentile gives a quietly powerful performance as Daniel, the only Afro-Italian member of a Rome riot police unit. “ The Legionnaire” packs a lot into its brief 82 minutes. (Check back here later for a review of it and more films from the series.) Unavailable for review at press time, it won the Leoncino d’Oro award at the 78th Venice Film Festival and, based on the trailer, the production design looks amazing. The opening-night screening is “ Freaks Out“, Gabriele Mainetti’s historical fantasy, set in 1943, concerning circus “freaks” on the run from a deranged, 12-fingered Nazi pianist who has prophesied Hitler’s suicide and seeks to harness their powers to prevent it.
