[quote]Endless Night is Love Betrayal Incest. Love derived from a central theme of the “troubadour literature”, is that love living on distances, projections, idealizations, which is forced to face death too soon, thus finding peacefulness inside the shades of another love, distant again, much more absolute. Betrayal is the obsession of a married man, haunted by a recurrent dream: the nightmare of his wife’s betrayal, spectres – vague, indefinite, yet insistent – of jealousy. The nightmare advances with restless steps, leading to madness. Until one day, when eventually his wofe’s voice is heard, in a specular monologue, reality prevails over everyting, upsetting each expectation and fear. Incest is the voice of a woman’s mind revisiting her past – a past which means desease – that splits in two, multiplies in a hallucination concerted in two voices: the father’s and daughter’s voices, wrapped up in the shade of incest. Fault, love, past gradually becoming a sandstone. The shades, little by little and doubt after doubt, in a hallucinated dialogue, will set her mind free.[/quote]

A little experimental movie of words from Italy.
There seems to be a harsh slandering campaign going on against director Elisabetta Sgarbi: you can see traces of it in this Variety review where they say "Sgarbi's powerful connections - her politician brother is Italy's most famous cultural pundit and she is a literary editor..."
Elisabetta Sgarbi may not have the most lovely character around, but she is a good director and an excellent literary editor - she edited the works of Carmelo Bene amongst other things. Whatever connections she has, she earned them through her work. Her brother is just an ex TV ranter, he's fallen in disgrace for some time now and barely can get a job himself. Italy if full of envious people, it seems.

Thanks

Great! Another C.Bene-related stuff ^_^

This has nothing to do with Carmelo Bene, Seiyuro! Warning!
She just edited his work for publishing. No connection whatsoever with the movie!

The movie is just a very controlled play on frustrating our visual hunger. The content is usual, pleasurable spoken-words fare.

Thanks Trep for bringing us this unknown gem! :plas::plas:

Don't worry I was pretty aware of that ... it's just me that tend to label artists that way ... perhaps even if she just sold him some cheeseburguers twelwe years ago i'd say the same thing ... ... something must be wrong with me, i know ^_^

that aside ...

Elisabetta Sgarbi may not have the most lovely character around

make this title even more interesting ... some artists use to work triple-hard when submerged on controversial environments plus the info you provided sounds great to me

Thanks again
