Enchantment

director: Chiara Caterina
original title: L'incanto
country: Italy
year: 2021
running time: 20 min.

synopsis

The soundtrack of the meditative experimental film combines the narrations of five women whose life revolves around death in one way or another: a tarot card reader, a sexual assault and homicide survivor, a woman charged with four counts of murder, a religious woman looking for answers in the spiritual, a woman who sees the dead. The footage of their testimonies is slightly stylised to evoke home videos.

 

„These voices deal, in different ways, with the relationship to life through the discourse of death.“
