Cinema Roma

A Polish girl returns home after spending eight years abroad. The return journey she spends in a van and in the company of a film crew that will make a documentary about her and her story.

 

«”Gli occhi stanchi” was the film that dazzled me, one of the most intense ever to unmask the mask that cinema wears for us and which becomes our own. Merciless in offending the serene consoling or merely tranquillising imbecility with which still too many defend themselves against it by dividing by judging by ranting about fiction/non-fiction»
