23° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL

Fiaba nera

Black Fairy Tale

Country: Italy

Year: 2005

Duration: 72'

The fairytale is about an annunciation. Between the day and the night, an angel appears in the life of a woman. Wrapped in its light of shadows, it brings her comfort. As it had already
done with another woman before her, who now guides her in carrying out her task. Evil touches love.

"The film is shot between twilight and night, in that pause of light that produces a different measure of time. Time and space are expanding, so that they absorb the dimension of waking and sleeping. 'And we know well: our soul is surrounded by visions, in the crossing of sleeping and waking, before we overstep the space between the two lands, at the limit in which they meet' (P. Florenskij)." (A. Momo)
