Uno Bianca
Ultimately, the three-hour running time seems to work against Soavi. Had the script been pared down to a more reasonable 90 minutes or, at a stretch, two hours, he could probably have delivered a taut and involving thriller, and shaving off some of the more mundane aspects of the investigation could have given it the sense of drive it so urgently needed. The end product is intermittently engaging, but it is unremarkable and, at this length, simply requires too much investment for a film that doesn't offer anything special. It's great that Michele Soavi has made a comeback after so many years away from the limelight, but those expecting a natural progression for his obsessions with gothic horror, love and death will be sorely disappointed. All things considered, Uno Bianca is probably more a case of him keeping his hand in the jar rather than pursuing his own vision.
I've reviewed NoShame Films' recent release of Uno Bianca, a 2-part, 3-hour TV movie helmed by Michele Soavi (The Sect, Dellamorte Dellamore) and based on true events. The 2-disc R0 US set features a disappointingly non-anamorphic transfer, but boasts solid audio and some informative extras.
