Allegro Largo Triste (2017)

Traditionally, each musician was trained by a master who instructed him in the playing technique, the repertoire and the manufacture of the instruments. Franco Melis (°1958, Tuili), is the last of a long lineage of players. Aurélien Froment’s film follows the uninterrupted flow of the music, drawing an unbroken invisible thread between Franco Melis and the little bronze Nuragic statue from the archaeological museum in Cagliari.
