Una serata con il Dottor Hoffmann

Overview

Dr. Hoffmann—the inventor of aspirin—returns home and, as usual, takes a pill of the famous medicine. The reversal consists in the fact that from this moment on, aspirin takes center stage, with its own subjective point of view. "The language used is freely borrowed from so-called B-movie noir, such as the camera angles, close-ups, contrasting lighting, and long shadows. The intent is to demonstrate how, by changing the observer's position with respect to any object, the object itself also changes and can be perceived in a different emotional way, undergoing projections that alter its substance."
