La convocazione
The Call
Der in den 1930er Jahren unter Benito Mussolini errichtete Mailänder Schwurgerichtshof "Corte d'Assise" ist einziger Schauplatz einer fesselnden Filmstudie, die faszinierende Einblicke in ein Geschworenen-Aus- wahlverfahren gewährt. Nur zu Beginn und andeutungsweise gibt die Kamera den Ort der Handlung preis, während sie in Folge in engen Close-Ups dicht an den potentiellen Geschworenen bleibt. Ihr im Flüsterton artikuliertes Unbehagen, nervöse Fragen, schrullige Spekulationen und reflektierte Kommentare über ihre bevorstehende Bürgerpflicht verschmelzen zu einer sanften Kakophonie im Angesicht der "heiligen Hallen" des Gesetzes. (Lotte Schreiber)
Italian citizens can be called to serve on juries for certain criminal cases: On the day before appearing for jury selection, they're randomly selected by a computer system. And so, one morning at 10 o'clock, 60 tense Italians take their place in a Court of Assizes that was, as one potential juror whispers, built under Mussolini. Their nervous questions, funny comments and discomfort are all brought together in a soft cacophony full of reflection on this civic duty. An infamous criminal case from 1974 and the judge's claim that no one needs to be scared of the mafia lend an extra dimension to this fascinating cinematic observation. (Slingshot Films)
