It was already hot in the morning - the temperature exceeded 30!
We bravely walked down to the festival village to watch more movies.
Today, I will tell you about an Italian film in which a son films his mother over the years. An extraordinary person - she was a top model, who clearly marked her presence in the fashion world.
Barzini now and then:
Time relentlessly changed her appearance, but it did not take her class away from her beauty.
The son Beniamino Barrese made a film entitled "The Disappearance of my Mother".
"Benedetta Barzini is a legendary Italian top model who in the 1960s was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. It was her face that decorated the first cover of Vogue Italia. She was a muse of Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali and the best American photographers. At the peak of her career, however, she abandoned the world of fashion. It was her protest against a world that adored the cult of superficiality."
"(...) she joined the Italian Communist Party, entering the path of radical feminism and Marxism. Today, she teaches Milan students why modelling and fashion photography are a form of cultural oppression, criticizing, inter alia, the ubiquitous collusion of femininity with nature. This private political turn also caused Barzini's complete rejection of images as creating harmful and deforming realities."
At noon, we listened to a lecture on the reconstruction of old (pre-war) films made by the National Film Archive. It was nice to listen to a passionate devotee ...
In the evening, we sat in a talk show with Wojciech Pszoniak who celebrates the 50th anniversary of artistic work. As usual, with reliable Torbicka as the host.
