        Morel, a character out of the system

        As the president of the jury "La Giuria" i can say that this is one of the best movies ever done. The director Emidio Greco is a genius, and his image is reflected in the character of Morel, a man completely out of the system, a cool pragmatic inventor, i don't say more because who read this comment must see the film without knowing other details. Don't miss this movie, if you don't like usual diagrams, because it makes you reflect about all life's sides, and vanity of life. The director Emidio Greco from behind the camera gives us lessons about the life, we can't miss them...

        a surreal masterpiece

        Very few movies are as good as the book that inspired them. This one might be somewhat different from the idea I had from the book -the color whiter, the image flatter, but it remains a sort of cinematographic UFO which leaves a long lasting imprint of the memory -after all, this long-lasting imprint is what the film is all about. It looks like a low budget science fiction movie, while its the ultimate movie about love (like the book was the ultimate book about love). Haunting. A plus of the film is fascinating discourse of Morel, in surgical, clipped Italian sentences which make you rush to learn Italian. A unique film.
