Before the Revolution poster
7.1

The study of a youth on the edge of adulthood and his aunt, ten years older. Fabrizio is passionate, idealistic, influenced by Cesare, a teacher and Marxist, engaged to the lovely but bourgeois Clelia, and stung by the drowning of his mercurial friend Agostino, a possible suicide. Gina is herself a bundle of nervous energy, alternately sweet, seductive, poetic, distracted, and unhinged. They begin a love affair after Agostino's funeral, then Gina confuses Fabrizio by sleeping with a stranger. Their visits to Cesare and then to Puck, one of Gina's older friends, a landowner losing his land, dramatize contrasting images of Italy's future. Their own futures are bleak.

L'inchiesta poster
7.0

The events of Giuliano Sartori, correspondent from Genoa for a newspaper in the capital, involved in a complicated investigation set in a psychiatric clinic. Not a simple Italian thriller but a "Russian doll", an open story with different levels of reading and interpretation, in which the distance between the madness of authenticity of feelings and the sprawling social normality that leads to 'annulment of the person and loneliness. Collaborators on the subject and the script of the film are Bernardo Bertolucci and Enzo Carra.

Diario di Manarola. Appunti per un film sull'esperienza di Telemaco Signorini alle cinque terre poster
NR

Made for the Liguria program: 90 years of cinema. The precious superimposition of two diaries: the personal one, written and filmed by the director and his companions of moments lived in Manarola, and that of Telemaco Signorini, an artist focused on the Cinque Terre who feels the need to nourish his figurative obsession with theoretical insights for that same place where Amico's daily life takes place with Olympic prosaicity.
