FATTI CORSARI

CORSAIR TALES
by Stefano Petti
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Duration: 79'


Alberto Testone is a fifty-year-old dental technician who looks incredibly like Pier Paolo Pasolini. He was born in the Fidene district; Testone slowly start to know the works of the author of Scritti Corsari. It is not so surprising after all that, with his love for theatre, he chose to “become” Pasolini, while the figure of PPP fuses itself with Testone’s tribute and curiosity, and reality and stage become one.

Declaration

film director

“The film has a circular structure articulated on many levels. The narrative lines are intertwined, dialoguing, and sometimes touching each other in a story that mixes languages, stiles, genres, and different mediums. Alberto’s personal bet interlaces with the city’s history, its thousands-year-old memory and places. […] In the background there is the underground connection with cinema, which marked the life of every character Alberto meets, and which allows him to move in the grooves of a common imaginary.”
