Description
Cast: Rutger Hauer, Manuela Martelli, Luigi Ciardo.
Orphaned teenaged twins Bianca and Tomas aimlessly wander the streets of Rome searching for distractions in their upended lives. Intending to set-up the blind former movie star Maciste (Blade Runner’s Hauer) for robbery, Bianca instead finds comfort in the older man’s hermit-like existence. Strange surprises abound in this hypnotic, sometimes erotic, psychodrama, adapted from a novel by prize-winning Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño.
