Song 'Una Filastrocca': melody and voice by Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni
“The story is focused on a married woman, a photographer, and her all-consuming wish to have a child. During the course of the film, we watch this woman develop a very morbid relationship with an unusual plant that grows in her living room, one that holds many secrets—but none as dark as the woman has herself.”
QUOTES
"A short film that demonstrates all the visionary talent of its creators, infused with special effects, music, and remarkable insight into the female experience." --Dario Argento + "Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni lights up the screen as a young photographer with some very dark secrets... Cataldi - Tassoni turns
in a great performance as a woman suffering the aftermath of numerous traumatic events in her life." --Johnny Butane, DREAD CENTRAL + "THE DIRT hinged on Cataldi-Tassoni's ability to just lose it at the drop of a hat...I felt like I was actually watching
a person go crazy." --Paula Haifley, PRETTY-SCARY + "The Dirt is truly effective, engrossing (as well as gross... in all the right ways!), and engaging." -- Staci Wilson, HORROR.COM + "This short horror film by Dario Argento's musician and starring his leading actress is awesome." --Paula Heifley, PRETTY-SCARY
