Da Vinci

Synopsis

Exceptional, cinematic take on the amazing world of the modern operating theatre, in which the patient seems to have only a bit part as all eyes are on the monitor. The final part of Ancarani’s trilogy is set in an operating theatre where a fabulous journey through the human body is undertaken by robot arms, with the surgeon at the joystick. Science fiction-like, it is reminiscent of Fantastic Voyage (1966). Ancarani captures the whole operation with minute precision, beautifully lit (no bloody effects) like a dazzling choreography accompanied by an exciting soundtrack.

Directors' Biography

Yuri Ancarani is an Italian video artist and film maker. His works come from a continuous mingling of documentary cinema and contemporary art, and are the result of a research aimed to explore regions which are not very visible in the daily life, realities in which the artist delves in first person.
