Carlo Di Carlo
1962 - Italie - Couleur - 9'
The life of a fishing community in Apulia recounted in highly elaborate film language. The concrete music renders almost inhabitable and abstract an abandoned, poverty struck landscape and the dialect becomes a pure signifier, void of all populism. The political sadness assailing us is further reinforced by the visual rhythm of the images, light and colour, desaturated to attain a kind of naked and whitened essentiality.
