The Spirit of Ferreri Found in Edoardo de Angelis’ Indivisible (2016) | Blu-ray Review

Date:

Italian director Edoardo de Angelis received stateside distribution with this third title, the Siamese twin melodrama Indivisible, which picked up a couple of awards after premiering at the 2016 Venice Film Festival. Receiving a limited theatrical release exactly a year late in 2017 (opening only in New York), de Angelis conjures the spirit of Marco Ferreri in his latest. From our review out of the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, it’s “comparable to classic Fellini titles or newer works from Jodorowsky examining nostalgic and bizarre portraits from their youth, de Angelis takes a more sobering approach, grounding the extraordinary in less sensational tones.”

Disc Review:

Kino Lorber releases Indivisible in 2.35:1 with 5.1 Surround. Picture and audio are serviceable in this initial transfer, which includes a twenty-six-minute Making-of documentary featuring cast and crew.

Film Review: ★★★/☆☆☆☆☆
