The final part of Ancarani’s trilogy is set in an operating theatre where a fabulous journey through the human body is undertaken by robot arms, with the surgeon at the joystick. Science fiction-like, it is reminiscent of Fantastic Voyage (1966). Ancarani captures the whole operation with minute precision, beautifully lit (no bloody effects) like a dazzling choreography accompanied by an exciting soundtrack.
