The Adventures of Gigi the Law / Gigi la legge

Alessandro Comodin, Italy, France, 2022, 102'

Gigi is a charismatic, dedicated policeman in a sleepy rural town in Friuli, Italy. When an unexplained suicide happens, he begins to monitor the life of his fellow townspeople even more attentively… This witty and genuinely intimate portrait of a man closely connected with his surroundings evasively moves between documentary and fiction, between the real and fantasy. Special Jury Prize at the 2022 Locarno Film Festival.
