Yet, in Giuseppe Patroni Griffi’s haunting 1974 film “Identikit,” death transforms into the singular obsession driving a woman toward her own carefully orchestrated demise. The DeBartolo Performing Arts Center (DPAC) held a screening of “Identikit” on Sept. 18, offering audiences a chance to encounter a polarizing work of cinema. The film follows Lise as she journeys from Copenhagen to Rome on a premeditated search for anyone to kill her. Viewers are kept destabilized through this lack of linear storytelling, as the knowledge of Lise’s death is explicit, but we are unaware of when or how it happened. Its recent screening at DPAC underscores this reevaluation, displaying how film can disturb, unsettle and provoke new ways of thinking about identity and death.
