Adrift is a 1994 Italian film directed by Luigi Falorni. It is a melancholic and poetic work that captures the feeling of displacement and loneliness experienced by immigrants in Europe at the time. The film follows the journey of Elvis, a young and aspiring photographer from Sarajevo who has been forced to flee his homeland due to the ongoing war in the Balkans.
Elvis arrives in Venice, where he meets a man named Rodolfo, who gives him shelter for the night. The two men share a brief but profound connection that is tinged with sadness and regret. The next day, Elvis sets out on a journey through the scenic countryside of Southern Italy, hitchhiking and taking pictures of the people and places he encounters. He is searching for a sense of belonging and a place he can call home.
Adrift is a visually stunning film that captures the beauty and timeless quality of the Italian landscape. It is also a meditation on the human condition, exploring the themes of identity, loneliness, and the search for meaning in life. The film is anchored by a strong and moving performance by the lead actor, Edoardo Gabbriellini, who brings depth and nuance to the character of Elvis. Overall, Adrift is a haunting and evocative work of cinema that stays with the viewer long after the credits roll.
