Writing Great Villains: Why They Shouldn't Be Sympathetic
Writing great villains is about striking a balance between charming and evil, so we love them but also love to see them lose.
A Kilo of Blue (The Music)
Women and their children disappeared without a trace in a mountain near Rome. The case remains unsolved and therefore becomes a myth and the film sets out to discover what this and a myth actually is, namely an expression of past history in time and space. We see like in a very old play the appearance of the actors playing the myth, who become more and more intensely mythical themselves. They speak up and yet suffer, they are just playing and yet they are guilty. The narrator, the choir, the revenge, the madness, the love, the death. This is what Blue is made of!
