Synopsis |
|
Italian cinema receives a long
overdue jolt of reality with DAYS,
an affecting drama that addresses
the subjects of AIDS and
homosexuality with a commendable
frankness and sensitivity. The film
follows Claudio (Thomas Trabacchi),
a well-respected, composed banker,
whose life appears to be in complete
order. But after a random encounter
with the youthful Andrea (Riccardo
Salerno), Claudio begins to question
his longstanding relationship with
Dario (Davide Bechini), as well as
his professional aspirations. A
chance reunion with Andrea brings
Claudio's desires to the surface
once again, and pretty soon he finds
himself shirking Dario and work to
spend every waking moment with
Andrea. Undercutting this newfound
confusion is the deeply unsettling
reality that Claudio is
HIV-positive, and must therefore
watch every single step that he
takes. Fed up with the exhausting
routine of medication and exercise,
Claudio finds an outlet in the
carefree Andrea, hoping that his
youthful air of invincibility will
erase his problems forever. |
