Appunti per un'Orestiade africana / 19756.05 voti
Dalla Tanzania all’Uganda, Pier Paolo Pasolini percorre l'Africa cercando i corpi e i luoghi per un film in forma di ‘film da farsi’, liberamente ispirato alla trilogia dell’"Orestiade di Eschilo". L’Africa, che negli anni Sessanta stava dolorosamente uscendo da secoli di colonialismo, è vista da Pasolini come lo spazio di un processo di metamorfosi dal mondo arcaico alla modernità, dove l’irrazionalità primigenia deve coesistere con il “nuovo mondo della ragione”. È la voce dello stesso Pasolini a guidare lo spettatore in un itinerario filmico che assume una natura eterogenea e ‘impura’ di saggio per immagini, analisi antropologica e diario di viaggio, con squarci visionari e poetici. Le immagini girate dal poeta-regista sui “silenzi profondi e paurosi” dell’Africa si confrontano a violente sequenze documentarie sulla guerra del Biafra, a un esperimento musicale con Gato Barbieri “nello stile del jazz”, a brani di rituali primitivi funebri o gioiosi.

Un anno nella Champagne / 20145.01 voti
The exploding cork. Endless tiny bubbles floating up and up in the glass. An indulgence. A celebration. A seduction. A triumph. This is the essence of Champagne, isn’t it? But it’s not just bubbles in a glass that makes the wine, or the mystique. Only sparkling wine produced within the boundaries of the Champagne region is truly “Champagne.” At first glance, the region is not an obvious source of romance. Champagne’s history is grim and bloody, swept by war and destruction from Attila the Hun to the filthy trenches of WWI and the Nazi depredations of WWII. The environment for winemaking is desperately hard — northerly latitude, chalky soil, copious rain, frost, rot. Yet it’s these difficulties that help make the wine unique.
