I had to go to Italy to see the best American indie feature of the dying
Nineties... A few weeks ago I was in Rome and I just happened to stumble
in the newly opened local Warner Village the very evening that a sneak
preview was held of "Closely Tied Up" by newcomer Frank Salvetti.I'd
never heard a thing about the guy and my search on the Imdb was
fruitless... guess the movie hasn't opened anywhere yet. I believe that
Salvetti wanted to show it to an Italian audience due to the fact that
his grandfather was born in Viterbo, a small village near Eternal City
(the film is dedicated to him in the end titles). I have no idea wether
anyone has picked the film up for distribution in the UK (or in the US,
or anywhere else for that matter) and I seriously doubt that it will be
an easy task to strike a distribution deal for such an amazing and
shocking piece of work. I've never seen such a fascinating blend of
horrific gore with witty dialogue before.Basically, there are two
psychos in a train sleeping car who spend the whole film slicing up and
dismembering a girl unlucky enough to enter their cabin. All the
massacre is described in a loving yet unnervingly cold way as the two
killers talk to each other on everyday subjects as sports, President
Clinton(!), show biz celebrities and sex. I wouldn't know how else to
describe it other than Tarantino meets Woody Allen meets Peter Jackson
meets Michael Haneke. Still, it is something that needs to be seen,
although I'd refrain from pitching it to the squeamish... I have no idea
where this Salvetti guy is now, but if he's reading this I want him to
know his movie was the best thing I've seen in a decade!!! Also, if
you're ever asked if you want to attend future sneaks, do yourself a
favor and go!

"Il cucchiaio non esiste, ma le manette si'."
(Alberto Farina)

Allen meets Peter Jackson meets Michael Haneke.
Un fim che sembra sia stato dato in anteprima solo in una sala in Italia
e poi in nessuna altra parte del mondo. Salvo scoprire che Alberto,
chissa' come, ne ha una cassetta e, incredibile ma vero, il Tosi invece
che farsela duplicare LA ORDINA IN GIAPPONE.
Poi l'americana che viene in Italia (sapendo l'italiano, ovvio) e, UDITE
UDITE, conosce Michael Haneke (che sicuramente in America deve essere
popolarissimo). E, tornata a casa, per la PRIMA E ULTIMA VOLTA nella sua
vita scrive un messaggio in un NG, proprio per recensire "Closely Tied
Up".
Per non parlare di chi gli ha risposto dicendo di conoscerlo... uno di
questi, danese, addirittura in vita sua ha postato solo due messaggi.
Uno e' quello su "closely tied up" e l'altro e'... su IAC!!!
Volete che non sputtani piu' il vostro giochetto? Mi scrivete in mail,
ammettete che e' un fake, e vi assicuro che vi do corda, d'ora in poi.
Altrimenti rassegnatevi a essere smentiti ogni volta che parlate di
questo film che, ripeto, NON ESISTE.
