The 26-minute short opens with stylistic credits – heavily influenced by classical Hollywood cinema. We are introduced to a whimpering French woman (Julia Zeno) and her visitor (Roman Lafond). Outstanding cinematography of the Eiffel Tower follows, where we see a mysterious vailed man walking the streets. Meanwhile in Rome, an Everyman returns home from the market and is startled to see a suited stranger on his sofa – clutching his stomach in agony. The rest of the drama explores the visitor’s purpose. Cosimo Tomei and Roberto Guadagnoli deliver highly captivating performances throughout. Cautious not to spoil the plot, ‘Bizzarro e Fantastico’ is a film that has to be watched to fully appreciate the narrative and the viewing experience.
