Sad Cardilli is a tale, that through testimonies, bird and people
songs, tells about an extraordinary world that hides along the borders
of ordinary reality in the south of Italy. From the poachers who hand
down the "art" generation after generation, and ex prisoner who,
initiated to ornithologic passion in jail, are forced to survive
catching and selling forbidden birds. From the merchants apparently
ruthless, to the people who visit forbidden markets every Sunday, where
improbable and grotesque, but at the same time sincere and naïve
characters hide.
"Human and social material, captured by images of this documentary,
responds to a very marginal world, but not scanty, of the reality in
Campania composed of "sick people", passionate people, dealers, bird
breeder or poachers. Of course, the hint that allows us to look around
with curiosity and to deepen in this reality is only an excuse to get to
know deeply a certain archaic humanity, apparently buried in the
collective imaginary, but that still feeds with vigour our contemporary
reality" (C. Luglio, R. Montesarchio).
