Wuhan a year ago and the virus invades the cinema

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 09 - The best horror movie of the year? It is a documentary. Signed by the Oscar winner Alex Gibney and titled Totally Under Control, it tells about the virus, Wuhan and the world under control of the pandemic. And he is not the only one to reflect on what is happening, going beyond images already seen and television reports of these months. In the SameBreath, the courageous Hbo documentary by Nanfu Wang, the Chinese-born American director who has managed to film things never seen in Wuhan, is talking a lot. But, as the title alludes, he manages in the same film to talk about the hidden lies even in his adopted country by bringing up the right of Capitol Hill and Trump and reminding viewers that indoctrination is indoctrination, regardless of the source. And while Coronation by artist president Ai Weiwei was almost an instant docu at the end of summer 2020, other films continue months later to tell us what world we are living in. Like Hao Wu's '76 days' produced by MTV, a heartbreaking calendar of the nightmare three months of Wuhan's hardest lockdown, the city of 11 million people from where it all began and where WHO's mission to track origin of the virus. There are four titles, almost an unfinished line. (HANDLE).
