NYFF Review - 'The Inspection' Unearths Empathy in the Trenches of Bootcamp
The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.
A Day at the End of October
Lorenzo is a civil servant who wearily drags his business in Milan between meetings, a wink to his secretary and the latest hallway gossip with his colleague. One day, more dazed than usual, he leaves the office and wanders off. By chance, he meets Cristina, a university student seemingly convinced of her incarcerated brother's revolutionary ideas, but is unable to detach herself from the bourgeois complex assured to her by her family.
