Abstract

The artistic maturity of Marco Tullio Giordana, a long-time intellectual and historically-politically competent filmmaker like few in the Italian panorama, emerges from the progressive rarefaction and stylistic concentration that has always accompanied him from his 1980 debut film, Maledetti vi amero?. His style is constantly at the service of a discourse open to the viewer, ranging from the relations between cinema and politics, to those concerning the fight against the mafias and anti-fascism, to arrive at a discourse on gender equality that becomes the leitmotif. Only those who do not grasp the targeted essentiality of Giordana’s cinematic discourse, not having the tools to understand how much cinematographic language owes in their case to the instance of reality, can still continue to mistake it for unconditional surrender to a standard television dish.
