Nuevo / Otro Cine Español - Un Lugar En El Cine

About This Movie

Nuevo / Otro Cine Español - Un Lugar En El Cine is an intriguing documentary that meanders through the reflections of significant cinematic figures. With a somewhat fragmented narrative, it captures Greek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos as he journeys from Athens to Ostia, that haunting beach where Pasolini met his end. Meanwhile, Víctor Erice’s contemplative interview at a Spanish train station evokes this sense of film resistance, pushing against the grain of mainstream cinema. The contributions from Tonino Guerra, Ninetto Davoli, and Nico Naldini add a poetic layer, giving voice to the absent. It's more of a meditative experience than a linear documentary, asking viewers to ponder their relationship with film and its history. The pacing is decidedly slow, allowing space for reflection, and there's a captivating atmosphere throughout.
