Adolfo Arietta

Created in 1965 and 1969, Le Crime de la toupie [The crime of the spinning top], L'Imitation de l'ange [Imitation of the angel] and Le Jouet criminal [The criminal toy] form a poetic trilogy in the filmography of the film maker. Filled with fits and starts and flashes, somewhere between daydream and obscure drama, these enigmatic and lyrical films, of dandy insolence, trigger the unexpected encounter of a life that has surrendered to idleness and its dreamlike opposite, a party to crime and conspiracy.
