Movie of the week on FIRST Art, the FIRSTonline vertical site dedicated to the world of art and culture, is Double suspicion, directed by the Belgian Olivier Masset-Depasse, an almost unknown name in Italian cinemas but which has already received a lot of international attention (it was released in 2018 at the Toronto Film Festival).
The story is set in an anonymous town in Northern Europe, in a period that can be traced back to the 70s, in a villa made up of two paired and adjoining twin houses where two very similar families live. Both families have a son and a misfortune will happen to one of them. From that moment a sequence of events unleashed which will lead to the final tragedy which, obviously, the expert Patrizio Rossano – author of the review – will not reveal.
However, Rossano's judgment is positive: "We would not want to venture into excessive comparisons - he writes - but it is difficult not to think of a master of this genre: Alfred Hitchcock. We are talking about a kind of film that is not easy to make but which, luckily for us, occasionally someone succeeds”. On FIRST Arte you will also find the trailer of the film.
