Il Capitale Umano (2013)The Human Capital (2013)
Directed by Paolo Virzì
During a cold winter night, a cyclist is hit by a SUV and then abandoned to agonize in the frozen snow. The mysterious episode, on which the police will investigate, connects the events of the members of two families: the petty-bourgeois family of Ossola and the rich and venerated one of Bernaschi. Through a sophisticated narration divided into four chapters, adapted by an American noir novel, the film explores human and inhuman ambitions, generational conflicts, and social splendour and misery of a North Italian province, ending with a mocking flavour epilogue that does not seem to fulfil anybody.
