Diaz - Don't Clean Up This Blood (Original title: Diaz ) is an Italian-French-Romanian drama from 2012 directed by Daniele Vicari . It was presented at the Berlinale 2012 in the Panorama section and received the section's 2nd audience award. The film shows the storming of the Diaz school in Genoa by the police after the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001 from different perspectives.
The film is based on trial files and conversations with contemporary witnesses. Since the proceedings against the police officers involved dragged on for eleven years, work on the film was delayed accordingly. The Diaz school was reconstructed for the film in Bucharest , and the shooting began in June 2011 in Bucharest, Genoa and South Tyrol.
action
At the G8 summit in Genoa, an enormous police presence confronts the peaceful protesters. The police are coming under increasing pressure as the autonomous bloc can no longer be pushed back. Most police officers try to be level-headed, but in some places there are already open confrontations. After the death of a protester, the mood continues to heat up and the number of arrests increases. The staff of the social forum have their hands full looking after detainees and missing people. When a bottle hits a police car, the Diaz school, which had served the social forum as a sleeping camp for demonstrators and a base for press and first aid, is stormed with immense brutality during the night. Many of those present are ruthlessly beaten up and seriously injured. During the subsequent detention, there were further attacks in which superiors were also involved.
criticism
“ Diaz - Don't Clean Up This Blood is a feature film that translates the testimonies of the events that have become known into oppressive images. [...] As a viewer you need a while to find your way around the narrative of the film, but then you become more and more part of the action. [...] The brutal intoxication with which the police beat up unarmed people, sometimes leaving them seriously injured and later tormenting and humiliating them with obvious pleasure, has a strong emotional effect on the authenticity behind it. An important film that leaves many questions unanswered, that motivates research and calls for attention. "
“Vicari assembles archive material between the atmospherically dense game scenes. The beatings at school are excruciatingly long and otherwise hardly bearable. Rightly so: These events must remain in our historical consciousness. "
