Passaggi

About This Movie

So, 'Passaggi' is this intriguing piece from 1980 that really leaves you in a contemplative space. The atmosphere feels almost dreamlike, weaving in and out of different realities or states of being, which can be quite disorienting in a good way. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the overall sense of wandering that the film seems to embrace. There’s a blend of practical effects that, while not flashy, contribute to its unique charm. Performances are understated yet impactful, drawing you in without demanding your attention too aggressively. It’s an oddity for sure, but that’s what makes it distinctive; you’ll find yourself mulling over it long after it’s ended.

'Passaggi' is a bit of a hidden gem, and finding it on physical media can be a challenge; I've seen a few VHS copies but not much else. The scarcity makes it something of interest for collectors who appreciate lesser-known titles. Its unusual themes and the distinct tone set it apart from more mainstream offerings of the time, making it a conversation starter in any collection. Keep an eye out for limited releases as they pop up; they can be quite rare.
