La stanza delle rondini
Synopsis
A “noble” story, an experienced “virile”, homage, without simulations, to the courage of being oneself, to the vitality, the human richness of people. Cima weaves a clear and refined narrative fabric… An appropriate and composite language, dry and sober, devoted to the non hagiographic observation of the people and of their life. The choice of the shot, the solutions of the editing respond to criteria of pursued effectiveness, which represent a vision of the concepts considered important by this people: the relationship between man and nature, the relationship between fellow men, concentrating their attention on their history and on their past. (Achille Frezzato)
