No Trace

The film is a marvelous b/w.visual way to narrate a minimal story that works quite well in the beginning but becomes foreseaable in the end.

Also, the way ratio formats are handled work well when the picture starts but later, they become distracting and unfocuse the image rather than providing a better attention point. But photography in general encapsulates splendid images that are the main asset of the narration.

The performances are to be praised: even if apparently there is not much happening, the actresses give a committed manner of conveying feelings, helplessness, desperation, and trauma.

The end does not consolidate what as been seen or should have been handled in a different way to add some moral punch.

Nevertheless, the film is worth to be watched and i am now looking for more films of the director.
