Tic tac

The cronofobia is the fear of the passage of time, to see how the events of our lives are flying by and we can not squeezing them to the max. It is a feeling of restlessness and impotence that affects those who face long periods of immobility, or in confined spaces: a long period of convalescence after an accident, or, more specifically, to the prisoners.

‘Cronofobia’ is precisely the same reason, the history of two prisoners of their past do not support to see how the clock continues to add hours to his misery. During recent times we have witnessed many film proposals that delves into the profound dehumanization of the era we live in, where the large spaces díafanos more neat contrast with the tightness inside of those who fill those spaces. The vision of Rizzi and his co-screenwriter, Daniela Gambaro, is not much more optimistic.

The result is a kind of thriller falsely optimistic and doubly cruel for that same reason. Your characters only looking to close a wound, although the solution is to use a suture as fake as the fake mustaches of a spy low hours. A proposed hypnotic, elegant and awe-inspiring moments, where the contribution photo of Simon Guy Fässler and music by Zeno Gabaglio amplify its spectrum.
