Alessandro Comodin
09 Oct 2022
The event is over
Gigi is a policeman in the countryside where, seemingly, nothing ever happens. However, one day a girl throws herself under a train. It is not the first time. An investigation into this inexplicable series of suicides begins in this strange provincial world between reality and imagination, where a garden can become a jungle and a policeman can have a heart always ready to smile and love.
Alessandro Comodin, Gigi la legge (The Adventures of Gigi the Law), Italy / France / Belgium, 2022, 102 min, original version with French subtitles
With Pier Luigi Mecchia, Ester Vergolini, Annalisa Ferrari
2022 Locarno Film Festival - Special Jury Prize, 2022 New York Film Festival, 2022 Villa Medici Film Festival
“Gigi is above all a voice, an elocution by this policeman in the north Italian village he patrols in his car. His chatty ways are tainted with fiction, there is a curious presence hanging in the air that worries him, the film gradually sews doubt, the audience floats. The beauty of the character’s language (between Italian and the local dialect) and Alessandro Comodin's understanding of cinematographic “grammar” combine perfectly while an essential question emerges: what am I watching?” Cahiers du cinéma
Presented by Eva Markovits from Cahiers du Cinéma and followed by a virtual meeting with the filmmaker
