Synopsis
The mystery of entire neighbourhoods in the metropolis emptying of human presence. A disturbing new order that investigates and represses. The lives of three women intertwine in an ambiguous game of escape and capture, in which the roles of victim and perpetrator switch until they become confused. A film that tries to question cinema and the mechanisms of power.
COMMENTARY
After The Dead Remain with Their Eyes Open (in competition in the Progressive section of the 2022 Rome Film Festival), Fabrizio Ferraro has made a film that attempts to interrogate cinema genre and the mechanisms of power. Featuring Chiara Caselli, Denise Tantucci, Caterina Gueli and Fabrizio Rongione.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
I consider Wanted as deconstructed genre film, the raising of a cry, an internal crisis within the established prison. The film was written before the pandemic and before the war in Ukraine. This is not an abstract and theoretical film. On the contrary, it is a work that is very realistic and very related to what has happened and is happening in our current events. In summary: We are here!
