L’incanto Enchantment
Directed by Chiara CaterinaItaly 2021
Runtime 19'
The voices of five women fill the sound space of the film, weaving the threads of the narrative: a woman reads from tarot cards; a survivor of the “Circeo Massacre”, one of the most heinous episodes of kidnapping and violence in italian crime history, answers a journalist’s questions; a woman accused of the murder of four people is questioned by the magistrates; a woman recounts her relationship with death, while another seeks an answer to violence through religious practice. These voices bring out, in different ways, the relationship to life through the discourse of death.
