Time of Indifference

Francesco Maselli constructs the frame as a claustrophobic cage, using mirrors and empty halls to amplify the characters' isolation. He relies on the potent performances of Claudia Cardinale and Rod Steiger to explore spiritual decay more than a mere romantic entanglement.

What lingers after the viewing is a chilling, almost clinical portrait of a world in moral collapse. The atmosphere of decay itself becomes the film's most compelling character. — MovieFinder Editorial
