Gian Vittorio Baldi
1960 - Italie - Couleur - 12'
In a dilapidated house in the heart of Rome live thirteen old women, most of them former housemaids surviving modestly between the aches and pains of old age and memories of their past. Baldi penetrates this corner of the world with great acuity and sensitively sketches the different personalities of his protagonists, capturing their poverty and solitude. A perfect example of contamination between the reality of documentary and the manipulations of screen direction.
