The Search For My Identity

1974 · 8 min
7.0 / 10 · TMDB

The film was made with successive images of La Pietra’s face realised from 1938 to 1974, all continually compared with his face as was at that moment (1974). Through this sequence we have the sensation that for thirty-six years he has doggedly and slowly tried to reach some “final model” (his face in 1974).

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a rigorous cinematic experiment where time is the sole variable. It relies on the power of juxtaposition, exploring not merely physical decay but the very process of becoming, questioning where the core of identity resides amidst constant change.

What lingers after the final frame is a profound, quiet contemplation on the self as a work perpetually in progress. It’s a unique and haunting piece of autobiographical cinema. — MovieFinder Editorial
