Videoman (Videomannen)

synopsis

A Giallo obsessed VHS collector with a drinking problem finds a valuable video movie that could save him from eviction. When it gets stolen he starts a desperate hunt for the black-gloved perpetrator, meeting an alcoholic woman in love with all things 80s and a victim of work place bullying in the process. Can these two outsiders joined by nostalgia and broken dreams find redemption in each other? Dario Argento meets Mike Leigh in Söderström's sly and playfully moving celebration of Italian genre cinema and social realities. Fulci, Fenech and Freda fans will find this feature debut an absolute blast.
