Enrico Ghezzi – film critic, populariser of arthouse cinema, film
philosopher, journalist and also filmmaker – is just as important for Italian
cinema as Rossellini, Visconti or Bertolucci. After viewing this three-hour-plus
autobiographical magnum opus, on which the ageing and ailing bard collaborated
with Alessandro Gagliardo, many will regard this assertion as less
controversial. Ghezzi’s highly intellectual and, at the same time, elemental
quest to discover life in film and film in life is reminiscent of an erupting
volcano and prowling beast of prey; the sophisticated chain of spellbinding
moments from across the history of film (Ferrara, Tarr, Straub-Huillet,
Parajanov, Bene, Tsukamoto) is intersected with scenes from Ghezzi’s private
life, whose intimacy is left undisturbed. An invaluable gift for current and
future cinephiles.
