This was my first year at Locarno, and besides the blossoming sunsets and pastoral green that surrounded me, I was similarly impressed by the films that were on display. With the exception of Nicole Vergole’s The Landscape and The Fury, my focus was spent on the Main Competition (Concorso Internazionale); I watched 12 of the 17 features. My tenure was bookended by the two most powerful works, both of which dealt with mental health struggles.

QUICK AND DIRTY: LIVE FROM LOCARNOIstanbul stands as a central character in this feature. Indeed, it is to Akin what Paris represents to Vinz in La Haine (Mathieu Kassovitz, 1995): an integral part of his identity. It pleases, horrifies and indulges him in equal measure. Akin, a man who has spent much of his life in hospitals and mental health institutions, cannot imagine a life outside of the Turkish capital.

Don’t let the French hip-hop score at the beginning of the film and the young cast fool you into thinking this is your average teen scream fodder. While indeed appealing to young audiences, Infested is a highly contagious horror with the potential contaminate viewers of all ages. A real manna from heaven (or hell) for anyone hungry for a little creepy-crawly fun.
