The APP
It’s difficult in these times to resist to the temptation to
enter into the world of apps, a rich and quite new theme for the
ambitions of genre directors. There also ends Elisa Fuksas, with
"Netflix" which distributes perhaps on the enthusiasm of "Cam" or
perhaps because in this moment they can afford also embarrassing
movies. As in this case. "The App" film with a bombastic title but also
a bit trivial title shows all the flaws of an app full of bugs and not
compatible with modern times. Elisa Fuksas, with a cameo by Abel
Ferrara, tries to break it down with the technique, showing us images
that seem to arrive from smartphones and with some attempt to have a
suggestive cinmatography. Awful.
Between overestimated intellectual ambitions, and between a parallelism
with "Othello" and criticism of modern society, boredom wins with an
embarrassing plot at the limits of the most obvious "generational"
movies.
Niccolò is the protagonist of this story, who does not know
whether to be a thriller, a drama, a sentimental film or a sci-fi. Or
more likely a big mess.
Niccolò, we said, is the scion of a rich family who aspires to
be an actor. His fiancée Eva asks him to help her with the
graduation thesis installing a dating app.
And here his problems begin. Gradually the boy becomes succubus and
establishes an online relationship with a mysterious girl who ruins the
relationship with his girlfriend and above all his actor's ambitions.
Final twist that openly aims to show the dangers of AI, more than ever
predictable, but finally closes a film thought badly and developed
worse.
