Fra Noi Embrace Your Inner Italian
Gianfranco Rosi’s acclaimed documentary “Sotto le nuvole” (Below the Clouds) is set to open at Film at Lincoln Center on March 6. The film, which won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival and was featured in the New York Film Festival’s Main Slate, explores life in an area of Naples situated between Mount Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields (Campe Flegree), an active volcanic caldera.
Rosi, known for his immersive portraits of communities in crisis, turns his lens on archaeologists uncovering ancient artifacts and dealing with the aftermath of tomb raiders, emergency responders strained by constant threats, and residents living in daily fear of a catastrophic eruption reminiscent of the disaster that buried Pompeii in 79 A.D. With meticulous attention to detail and beautiful visuals, the documentary connects the region’s past and present, with their own themes of uncertainty and resilience.
