LOCARNO 2021: ATLAS BY NICCOLÒ CASTELLI
By Mónica Delgado
Atlas is the second feature film by Italian filmmaker Niccolò Castelli, and it concentrates all its structure on bringing to life the portrait of Allegra, a young woman who has suffered the loss of her boyfriend and some nearby friends during a terrorist attack. The film is constructed in such a way, due to the use of various flashbacks, that guilt, trauma and mourning join suspicion, mistrust and a xenophobic stance from the main character, prejudices that are gradually being cleared.
