Incubo (Nightmare) is a haunting, surrealist portrait of alienation set against the industrial landscapes of 1950s Glasgow. Following a lonely café worker drifting through parks, streets and wastelands in the grip of depression and emotional exhaustion, the film blurs the line between reality and dream. Encounters with strangers offer only fleeting moments of connection as his journey moves inexorably toward tragedy, accompanied by meditative Buddhist chants that lend the film an almost hypnotic, existential quality. One of Enrico Cocozza's earliest surviving works, Incubo transforms the city into a bleak psychological landscape where despair and isolation become inescapable.
