Quando Sei Nato Non Puoi Più Nasconderti / Once You're Born You Can No Longer Hide (2005 Marco Tullio Giordana & co-scr)

Written with Sandro Petraglia & Stefano Rulli, book Maria Pace Ottieri.

Ph Roberto Forza, Panavision.

Alessio Boni, Matteo Gadola (Sandro), Michela Cescon, Ester Hazan (the girl), Vlad Alexandru Toma ('brother'), Rodolfo Corsato, Adriana Asti (the youth judge).

Monocular story (to use Paul Schrader's expression) of Sandro's journey, cleverly assembled and strong on audience manipulation, particularly in scarily shot night scenes. Has quite a twist, and the slightly inconclusive ending seems right in that context.

Won three Italian Globes.
