hypogeum short film melbourne indie

Hypogeum, (ITALY)

Director: Alessandro Moscatt, Alessandro Della Villa

Cast: Elena Scomazzetto, Gabriele Tiziani, Rossella Ambrosini, Claudia Campolmi

The film celebrates the spirit and aesthetics of a certain pulpy genre of Italian ’70s cinema, exploitative but not only, B-movie but not only…

The story begins with two troubled lovers fighting during their journey into an unknown town, where they end up in an empty inn served by two unsettling waitresses. The place hides something dark, nourishing of their bad blood, transfiguring their feelings, attracting them in the darkness of its underground: this is the beginning of the descent into Hypogeum.

Il cortometraggio è un omaggio all’estetica e alle atmosfere del cinema italiano di genere degli anni ’70, ma con una rivisitazione in chiave moderna.

Tutto inizia da una lite violenta all’interno di una coppia in crisi, i due vagano nella notte in un paesino sconosciuto e capitano in un locale deserto con due strane locandiere. Il posto nasconde qualcosa di oscuro che si nutre dei loro dissapori, trasfigura i loro sentimenti e li attira nel buio profondo dei suoi sotterranei: è l’inizio della discesa nell’Hypogeum.
