CGiii Comment

The curious adventure of Mr Rotpeter, a monkey turned into a man. Starting from Kafka's novel 'A Report to an Academy', Antonietta De Lillo's movie sets Mr Rotpeter's adventure in a nowadays Naples. Its peculiar storytelling flows between a faraway past and our recent reality. Mr Rotpeter's interest is strongly connected to human nature, society, politics, inner behaviours and emotions. Antonietta De Lillo's short movie will drag us into a very unique atmosphere, causing us a sense of disorientation and commotion.


Sulle pagine di una rivista, nel 1917, appare un racconto firmato da Franz Kafka. Il racconto, “Una relazione per un’Accademia”, è una lezione universitaria tenuta dal Signor Rotpeter, una scimmia diventata uomo, nella quale si ripercorrono le fasi della sua metamorfosi. Il ritratto immaginario di Antonietta De Lillo si muove su due piani: da una parte i frammenti della lezione universitaria kafkiana, come fossero la messinscena del suo passato, dall’altro il suo presente.
