7 Days (2016)
(7 giorni)
Country: IT/SW
Technical: col 96m
Director: Rolando Colla
Cast: Bruno Todeschini, Alessia Barela
Synopsis:
Meeting on a desertified Sicilian island to coordinate arrangements for a wedding between their respective brother and best friend, a French botanist and Italian costumière fall in love and agree to part at the end of the week. The world outside reaches out a hand to even their privileged seclusion, however.
Review:
So obliquely and subtly pointed one would have thought it directed by a woman, this gentle love story captures the elegiac beauty of an ageing community and how it adumbrates the lovers' fragile relationship to the point where the man succumbs to melancholy. The embraces are discreetly and tenderly composed, and the final cut expertly timed on an expression of thanksgiving. An unpretentious ode to love.
