Rä Di Martino's 'Controfigura' on Sky Arte Explores Stunt Double's Ambition

On Monday, August 5, Sky Arte will air 'Controfigura', a film by artist Rä Di Martino. The movie follows a small film crew scouting locations in Marrakech and surrounding deserts for a remake of an American film where a man swims home through county pools. Corrado Sassi plays the stunt double Corrado, used to test shots and pools for the lead actor. As rehearsals progress, Corrado develops an ambition to take the lead role. The real stars, played by Filippo Timi and Valeria Golino, eventually disrupt the set. The film examines the blurred line between stand-in and star.
