Silvano Agosti

多くの映画やテレビ作品で音楽を手掛け、2020年に逝去したエンニオ・モリコーネ氏。クエンティン・タランティーノ監督やクリント・イーストウッドらが彼に賛辞を贈る一方、自身は映画音楽の芸術的価値が低かった当時の苦しい胸のうちを明かす。『荒野の用心棒』での成功、『アンタッチャブル』で3度目のアカデミー賞ノミネートとなるも受賞を逃し、落ち込む様子なども描かれる。

L’Isola del Cinema Festival visited Silvano Agosti in his historic hall in the Prati district of Rome. The meeting with the author, director, poet and philosopher, famous in the artistic world for his stubborn independence, with the young writer Stefano Scanu, gave rise to a long conversation about cinema, about life, about our future, about some of his films chosen as a tribute to the festival. This short film acquires a further value due to the sad coincidence of the definitive closure of the Azzurro Scipioni theatre a few days later, a mourning for all passionate and romantic Romans.

A deep dive into Glauber Rocha's years exiled in Italy in the 70s. Through a collection of interviews and archives, the movie shows the making of his film Claro (1975) and his relation with European auteurs in their filmic and political views.

“A future historian, if he or she is honest, will feel a legitimate need to place the decade 1968 to 1978 alongside the great events that changed the world, such as the French and Russian Revolutions”. This was the guiding idea to which we entrusted, with considerable emotion, our personal memory and the archive footage that we took and collected during those years and which represent the physical body of the battles fought and victories gained everywhere during those ten years. Their value, in a country like Italy which has lost its memory, is a rare witness to the power of human dignity in a constant struggle for its redemption.

Via the New York Times: "This documentary was distilled from a 3 1/2-hour television film Nessuno o Tutti, to make the point that many inmates now in mental hospitals could be released without harm to society, and to their advantage. Both patients -- chosen for their ability to talk before a camera -- and sponsors in the community at large are interviewed to promote the concept of the patients' re-integration into the outside world. Three men (Paolo, Angelo, and Marco -- a mentally handicapped youth) talk to the interviewers about their own perspectives, and while the success of the mentally handicapped working at one plant is illustrated, the implied excesses of hospitals run by the Catholic Church are also discussed. Filming was not allowed inside those institutions."
