- Summary:
- An elegy of exile and an epic immersion in the world of rural Italy during the regime of Benito Mussolini, Francesco Rosi's sublime adaptation of the memoirs of the painter, physician, and political activist Carlo Levi brings a monument of twentieth-century autobiography to the screen with quiet grace and solemn beauty. Banished to a desolate southern town for his anti-Fascist views, Levi (Gian Maria Volontè) discovers an Italy he never knew existed, a place where ancient folkways and superstitions still hold sway, and that gradually transforms his understanding of both himself and his country. Presented in its original full-length, four-part version, CHRIST STOPPED AT EBOLI ruminates profoundly on the political and philosophical rifts within Italian society-between North and South, tradition and modernity, Fascism and freedom-and the essential humanity that transcends all
