Turn off your bourgeois needs and expect an amazing experience Movies that are about nothing can also be about everything. The narrative structure of "Patrick Vive Ancora" is so vague and free that for a long time it is difficult to decipher what is going on or predict what will come next. It is known from an early stage that there is a sinister doctor who receives in his house two couples to visit, when in his office are also a few bodies in a comatose state. This idea of bringing together a few people in the same house, to spend a few days together, naturally has a lot to do with classic horror cinema, but its Italian branching, with its ceremonial quality, seems to have a special taste for exploring it. "Patrick Vive Ancora" contemplates the behavior of the people in the house, as they get to know each other and witness some strange occurrences, but for at least an hour, we are not entitled to very concrete information about what all those people are doing there. Fortunately the Italians have a formidable talent for their films to entertain even when there is not much happening. It's a talent that comes in pairs, if you know what I mean. Somehow, "Patrick Vive Ancora", like the most enigmatic Italian cinema, is an invitation to disconnect from that very bourgeois need to find an explanation for everything. I think the little I understood about it was decisive to have liked what I saw.
