Barocco

Film Description

A labyrinthine, flamboyant and - for its convoluted plot and elaborate camera movements - aptly named thriller, combining moody film noir with aspects of German expressionism as it escalates towards an unexpected conclusion. A boxer who has accepted, and then turned down, a bribe from a politician to lie to influence an election is killed by a hired assassin; the boxer's girlfriend then falls in love with the killer while trying to remake him into the image of her dead lover.
