Director: Matteo Garrone
Country: Italy
In “The Embalmer” — a film inspired by an Italian criminal case and winner of 16 awards — a lonely taxidermist and his youthful new assistant become involved in a morbid professional and personal relationship, aggravated by the arrival of a woman. This is a strong and intense film, unequivocally noir, where cynicism feeds in any way the development of the story and characters that are paradoxically innocent. Deliberately eerie and disturbing, always accompanied by the shadow of death, this movie transforms the current events in a romantic-aesthetic dimension based on the axiom between love and death.
