Il cinema italiano oggi

Contemporary Italian cinema is living through a moment of rare intensity.

After the cumbersome legacy of Sorrentino and Garrone, a new generation asserts itself.

Think of directors like Alice Rohrwacher, capable of reinterpreting neorealism with a dreamlike sensibility.

Their language rejects linear narration in favor of temporal and symbolic layering.

The stories told, though rooted in the Italian province, dialogue with the entire world.

However, the risk of self-referentiality always lurks.

International festivals reward those who know how to combine formal research and human urgency.

Perhaps this is the real strength of our cinema.

An ancient ability to look at the present through the eyes of myth.
