한 가족의 풍경을 들여다보는 일은 동시에 그 사회와 시대를 살펴보는 작업이기도 하다. 은 마르코 벨로키오가 연출했던 작품과 그의 생각을 통해 60~70년대 이탈리아 사회의 풍경을 기억한다. 혁명, 공산주의, 산업화, 카톨릭, 무신론이 혼란스럽게 섞인 풍경 속에서 감독과 출연자들은 복잡한 기분에 사로잡힌다. 2021년 베니스영화제 비경쟁부문 상영.
The Cinema Mexico is one of the last single-screen cinemas left in Milan. Its story is inextricably tied to the figure of Antonio Sancassani who ran it independently for the past thirty years taking care of every single aspect. At the cinema Mexico he presents independent films, debuts, films in original version, documentaries, forgotten films or films that have been "burned" by large-scale distribution offering them a second chance. The thirty-six years of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and two extraordinary years of The Wind Blows Round are only some of the successes that have made of the cinema a reference point for insiders from all over Italy. A passionate portrait that reflects on the fate of small cinemas and on the difficulties for independent cinema that is suffocated by the laws of the market, by online streaming and by the television.
Love Among the Ruins is a spoof about the miraculous discovery and restoration of a long lost Italian silent film. The film connects a contemporary filmmaker with the genius of the Lumini brothers, two cinematic icons who have been almost overlooked in the history of cinema.
Piero Tortolina has been a point of reference for a whole generation of film lovers. Pioneer of cinema-clubs and great film collector, he has been an invisible protagonist in the history of italian cinema.
