Il peso d’aria

Il peso d\'aria posterNot a great deal of new Italian releases in recent weeks…

Il peso d’aria is the new release from Stefano Calvagna, who previously made the crime-type movies Senza paura (2000) and Arresti domiciliari (2000). This is another film which finds a hard up individual finding a mysterious benefactor, only to learn that nothing’s free in life. In this case, the protagonist is Carl, a nice guy trapped in a horrible job, who is bamboozled by a conman and driven to such desperation that he’s willing even to risk his family.

It’s all based ona true story, and includes a handful of familiar names in the cast (Corinne Clery, TV stars Giampiero Lisarelli & Cinzia Mascoli). But it’s an independent film, and the takings have been moderate at best. Still, Calvagna seem to be building a curious CV, and may be worth keeping an eye on.
