Poem
On the occasion of the bicentenary of the birth, Carmelo Bene returns to the verses of the poet from Recanati. In this film the most beautiful poems by Giacomo Leopardi (La Ginestra, Il Canto Notturno, Le Ricordanze, A Silvia, L'Infinito ...), but also some passages from the Moral Operettas, as well as the unfinished Project for a hymn at Ahrimane, follow one another with deep and moving simplicity, with a quiet immediacy that causes the void of every other voice: therefore the listenere is ensnared in the pauses, bewitched by the unexpected descents of silence. The voice assumes a dark and ancestral tone in which the words seem to find their original nuances.
Writer
Es una transcripción cinematográfica de un texto de Leopardi, que nos lleva desde la periferia brumosa hacia el centro de la ciudad de Milán, donde se vive una triste Navidad: escaparates iluminados, peatones apresurados y músicos callejeros. (FILMAFFINITY)
