“Fiume o morte” – 6.000 EUR Festival

Days of Madness all but scares us by raising second thoughts whether mental illness is perhaps merely a combination of the infinite vulnerability of life, human powerlessness and evil demons that roam our midst. Without moralising, the film raises harrowing questions of how one responds to psychological distress; and how the system, the medical science, the pharmaceutical industry react. Thanks to well-thought-out yet only seeming absence of the author, what is left is an honest, brutally compelling document that leaves the viewer with an almost physical effect.
