CGiii Comment

The hypnotic progress of the voices of five women fills the sound dimension of the film, weaving the threads of a complex plot in which violence, justice, and death emerge: a woman reads tarot cards; the survivor of the Circeo Massacre, one of the most heinous episodes of patriarchal and fascist violence in Italian crime history, answers a journalist’s questions; a woman accused of the murder of four people is interrogated by magistrates; one woman tells of her relationship with death, while another seeks in religious practice an answer to violence. Archival footage, audio and video, creates a mysterious limbo, in which the boundary between the earthly and otherworldly is labile; the chorus of women’s voices becomes a guide to facing the darkness, bringing out, in different ways, the relationship to life through the discourse of death.


L’ipnotico incedere delle voci di cinque donne riempie lo spazio sonoro del film tessendo i fili di una trama complessa in cui emergono violenza, giustizia, morte: una donna legge i tarocchi; la sopravvissuta del massacro del Circeo, uno degli episodi di rapimento e violenza patriarcale e fascista più efferati della cronaca nera italiana, risponde alle domande di un giornalista; una donna accusata dell’omicidio di quattro persone viene interrogata dai magistrati; una donna racconta del suo rapporto con la morte, mentre un’altra cerca nella pratica religiosa una risposta alla violenza. Il materiale d’archivio, filmico e sonoro, costruisce un limbo misterioso, in cui il confine tra mondo terreno e mondo ultraterreno è labile; il coro di voci di donne diventa una guida per affrontare l’oscurità, facendo emergere, in modi diversi, il rapporto alla vita attraverso il discorso della morte.
