约瑟夫是一名机场安检员,生活看似平淡无奇,然而,日常的工作枯燥乏味,安检传送带也持续输送着来自乘客和同事的疏离与不安。在一次不愉快的家庭聚会后,一个新的不羁的灵魂开始侵蚀原来的他,新的约瑟夫行事不计后果,时刻处在情感爆发、自我毁灭的边缘。这不仅是主人公一场拼命挣扎的自我发现,也是社会中形形色色普通人的生活写照。影片以手持摄影的形式拍摄,富于压迫感的镜头使人轻易代入人物混乱的内心。本·卫肖的表演极具冲击力。
When, at the beginning of Deus Irae, Father Javier stares at a crucifix, his expressions and his hands suggest that the nerves are consuming him. A flashback reveals that this priest devotes his life to visiting families that claim to have seen things that do not belong to this world and cleansing their homes from the demons that try to possess them. But, upon returning to those houses, he notices that the evidence is always destroyed. This way, he discovers that a clan is after him, and must decide whether to hide from them or join them. In times when horror cinema tends to fall into the hands of directors that seek to build narratives that are introspective and close to reality, Pedro Cristiani goes back to old-school horror, where gore and the physical experience are above any other kind of feeling. A cinema that places the camera in front of the faces of the bloodiest demons and, instead of giving logic to them, chooses to face them whatever the cost. 源自:https://www.mardelplatafilmfest.com/38/en/pelicula/deus-irae
