12° FESTIVAL INTERNAZIONALE CINEMA GIOVANI
Italian Competition 1994 - Fiction
RIFLESSIONI SULL'ALLUCE
Country: Italy
Year: 1994
Duration: 15'
The result of the death-dealing mixture between the horrible 1980's of the agonizing, First Republic and the terrifying prolegomenon to the cultural null of the Second that has hurled itself on us. The creative impotence at the feet of culture, supported on the ideological basis of the (good) times that have passed. An entertainment about intellectual unemployment.
"They say that a director who is not working is shooting his 'big toes'. Said and done." (Alberto Signetto).
