| The Bodysnatcher shows a close up of a German policeman.
The videocamera moves back and forth, increasing the strong tension
we can perceive in his expression. We don’t know where, why
and how this action takes place. This climax is broken by a roar
that, just for a glimpse, gives shape to a distress suspended till
that moment.
Danger is everywhere, and a permanent alert is not enough to prevent
it, but, at the same time, fear feelings could be lethal tools to
create a state of easily exploitable paranoia.
