30 May 2021
A mystery thriller set in a village called Avechot, it is located in the hazy Italian mountain, there arrives a police inspector , Agent Vogel : Tony Servillo and a sub-Inspector : Lorenzo Richelmy to investigate the sudden disappearance of a 15-year-old teenager girl. The stubborn Inspector Vogel interrogates the villagers, but nobody tells the whole truth. Along the way, he meets a psychologist : Jean Reno whom eventually the inspector tells about some events.

An intriguing and riveting thriller with tension, plot twists, thrills and magnificent interpretations. There are several interesting characters, all of them are suspicious people, but in the foggy Italian village Avechot nothing is what it seems. Here stands out the great actor Toni Servillo giving a fabulous acting, as usual. This veteran actor got his big hit with The Great Beauty, following other successes as Il Divo, Silvio, Let Yourself Go, The Confessions and Into the the Labyrinth. Servillo is well accompanied by a good support cast, such as : Alessio Boni as a suspect professor, Lorenzo Richelmy as Inspector helper, Greta Scacchi as an unsettling journalist and of course Jean Reno as a psychiatrist.

It displays a thriling and moving musical score by Vito Lo Re, as well as adequate and colorful cinematography by Federico Masieroti This fascinating motion picture was compellingly directed by Donato Carrisi at his film debut, adaptating accurately his best-selling eponymous novel . Donato provides tense directorial with suspense, nail-biting scenes and surprising finale. Donato subsequently directed Into the Labyrinth 1919 with Dustin Hoffman and Toni Servillo himself. Rating : 7/10. Better than average. The movie will appeal to Toni Servillo and Jean Reno fans.
