LIVER

The famous killer Harry Brompton, nicknamed by journalists "Liver", at just 15 years old killed a young couple, then eating the liver of both victims (in English "Liver" means "liver"). When Liver was imprisoned, a harsh struggle ensued, as many people wanted to give him life imprisonment, but when he was released for good behavior, after 18 years, he went to the home of one of the people who wanted to see him behind bars for life to take revenge. This short film traces his last hours of life! Short film by the Italian Federico Greco (director of the good docu-fiction "Road to L. – Il mistero di Lovecraft", the Italian response to the film "The Blair Witch Project") lasting approximately 17 minutes that meticulously recounts only the last hours of the killer "Liver". At the beginning of the film, in the scene where the protagonist "puts something under his teeth", it is clear that there is a reference to Kubrick's cult film "A Clockwork Orange" (specifically, "Liver" pays homage to this film when the protagonist Alex DeLarge is in the condition of being fed comfortably in bed and chews making annoying grimaces!). Really convincing Ottavio Blitch, the actor who plays the protagonist, who absolutely manages to get into the skin of the infamous killer. In the film there is no splatter, but there is still a lot of suggested violence and several disturbing scenes (just like in "A Clockwork Orange"!). Beautiful the final scene, that of the delirium, with a musical background that closely resembles a music video! This "Liver", overall, turns out to be a good short film that manages to entertain the viewer a lot for the good dose of violence present and for the citationalism it is filled with. Recommended especially to mature people and those who appreciated Kubrick's film! Curiosity. Director Federico Greco had already paid homage to Stanley Kubrick in his documentary "Stanley and us" in 1999.
