The Turin Horse

"There is nothing to do and nowhere to go, There is nothing to be and no one to know" -Thomas Ligotti

The work stems from a supposed story about Friedrich Nietzsche's mental breakdown in Turin. The film offers an experience of absurd immersion, where the characters are intimate, portrayed in long scenes without cuts, presenting a natural dynamic that drives this minimalist and impactful narrative. The cinematography is beautiful and melancholic, using black and white images that convey a sense of desolation. The setting reinforces the impression of isolation, degradation and sadness that permeates the entire film. The soundtrack, orchestrated in a funereal tone, complements the incessant wind that echoes throughout the film. It is an extremely depressing and pessimistic journey, a metalinguistic horror in which existence is revealed as a void, becoming a hopeless burden until the inevitable end.
