Cosy, breathless, gentle comedy, grounded in texture. Redemptive, intimate, measured, hand-scored across twelve axes of taste.

How every film is hand-scored →

Alex and Dino are two enstablished plastic surgeons used to change their patients' physical aspect with a few cuts of scalpel. Leo and Cosimo are two clumsy cops on the trails of a powerful and dangerous boss of which no one knows the face. All these five characters will stumble upon each other's life, in a comedy full of misunderstandings, twists and laughs, where, in the end, everyone will try to save his own "face".

Our read · Natale col boss (2015) reads as a cosy, breathless, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, redemptive in outlook. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
