Il futuro (2013)

English title: The Future

Based on the novel Una novelita lumpen, by Roberto Bolaño, first published in 2002.

Teenage orphaned brother and sister get mixed-up with two slightly older guys who move in with them. The guests have a plan to rob a recluse ex-actor with the help of the orphan girl's sex services to him.

Sordid story from which all disagreeable characteristics of sordidness were carefully removed. This is the rule now. But it is watchable, sort of, and the acting is terrific, even though the actor playing 'Maciste' just does not have the physique du rôle.

Rating: 50
