Identificação de uma mulher

I liked Blow-Up, although even then I realized that it was a film on the edge, i.e., crossing a very delicate line could actually greatly decrease the overall impression. I didn't enjoy the adventure, so I was expecting how my third encounter with this acclaimed director's work would turn out. The result is once again more than doubtful, so I will avoid this Italian creator altogether in the future. Identification of a Woman is a typical festival film that can bring enthusiasm to a certain type of audience, but for the majority of regular film fans, it is unwatchable. From my point of view, it is strongly self-centered, manneristic, and above all, a boring spectacle, after which I could only conclude that I successfully wasted two and a quarter hours of my time. It's not just about dragging out the runtime and the painfully slow pace, but also about the quality of the storytelling. In the end, I knew about director Niccolò, his value scale, his relationship toward women, and the motives that guide his behavior towards them, essentially as much as at the beginning - which is nothing. Overall impression: 25%. (14/09/2009)
