Cineville Previewdays | Below the Clouds

Gianfranco Rosi
Sun 5 Jul 13:00

Breathtaking black-and-white portrait of Naples and its surroundings. Documentary filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi travels through the area between Vesuvius and the coast, both above and below ground. A warm-blooded homage to the residents of a region where the earth is never still.

In his latest film Below the Clouds, Rosi explores both the world above and below ground in the area between Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples. Despite the bustle and joy of their city, Neapolitans always live with the awareness that Vesuvius could erupt; the last time it did was around eighty years ago.

With stunning black-and-white cinematography — Rosi himself served as director of photography — the filmmaker connects several stories that seem charged with a sense of impending disaster, as if the world of three million Italians could collapse at any moment through the force of nature. Yet Below the Clouds is also a warm-blooded homage to the residents and passers-by of eternal Naples.
