An evil entity. An elusive presence. An untraceable being.
These are the characteristics of the character played by little Riccardino Fuffolo, making his directorial debut, in his "Hands Up", a masterpiece of indescribable tension. A renowned agent, who allows himself to be stepped on only by Ben Affleck, goes in search of this figure who, let's admit it, creates problems. He doesn't know who this person is. He only knows one thing: it's small. Meanwhile, the evil entity, with just the imposition of hands, causes the death of several people, and even a lamppost. But enough about the plot: we must lavish praise on all the actors, from a remarkable Maccio Capatonda, as the agent, to a sublime Nick Malanno, portraying the journalist Dino Parlatoio. And then, of course, there's the little one. We have never seen such a spectacular performance from him, neither in "La Febbra", nor in "Un attimo al bagno": an interpretation truly moving.
Among the key scenes of the film, it is impossible not to mention the garage scene, which vaguely recalls the maze scene in "Shining". Please, do not miss this unreachable masterpiece. You will find it every Saturday in Tuesday night at the cinema screen.
