VALENTINA BESEGHER & ALESSANDRO MASSOBRIO [IT] -
Try Hard Johnny!, 04:11, 2007

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Johnny is a child. Johnny can't play the game. Everyone gets in his hair. It's a matter of changing, of altering your own face. With a smiley face, everything would be easier. But there is a contrast between inside and outside, an ambiguity of the memory. Memory is a play that makes fun of us and fixes its rules through time and generations. The dialogues used in the film concern the deafness which the communication is in. The voice is its own sound leaving slid down the sense into a vortex of references and dreamlike analogies.
