Short film / Italy / 15' / 35mm couleur / Directors' Fortnight 1973

The objects watch the meticulous and methodical ruin of the body as unquestionable witnesses of a story of the world wich belongs, focuses and concentrates on the body but rather than expressing it, destroys it. The body is mindful of a complex theatrical experience wiche essentially echoes Il Rosa e il Nero. But in Hermitage the faces shining with strange coloured beads of sweat, whose skin flakes and given them abstractly animalistic appearance, lose any chance of metaphorization.

Carmelo Bene, Lydia Mancinelli
