Incognito

About This Movie

Incognito (1990) has this rather intriguing vibe. It's set in an Alpine village, which lends this quiet, almost eerie atmosphere throughout. The almost blind writer and his friend Renata engage in these sado-masochistic games that feel more like psychological explorations than just mere games. The lengthy recitals of texts can feel drawn out, but they really dig into the characters' psyches. The pacing's slow, but it builds tension beautifully. And Serge, the neighbor, adds this layer of intrigue and voyeurism to the mix. There's something distinctive about the performances, too; they carry a weight that's hard to define. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a curious dive into the complexities of human relationships and isolation.
