What Do You Know About Me

2009 · 78 min Documentary
7.0 / 10 · TMDB

Until the 1970s, Italian cinema dominated the international scene, even competing with Hollywood. Then, in just a few years, came its rapid decline, the flight of our greatest producers, a crisis among the best writer-directors, the collapse of production. But what are the true causes and circumstances of this decline? In an attempt to provide an answer to this question, Di Me Cosa Ne Sai strives to depict this great cultural change. Begun as a loving examination of Italian cinema, the film transformed into a docu-drama that alternates between interviews with the great names of the past and fragments of cultural and political life of the last 30 years. It is a travel diary that shows Italy from north to south, through movie theatres; television-addicted kids; Berlusconi and Fellini; shopping centers; TV news editors; stories of impassioned film exhibitors and directors who fight for their films; and interviews with itinerant projectionists and great European directors.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs the narrative not as a dry historical account, but as a lively, almost detective-like investigation. He relies on the contrast between archival footage from the golden age and contemporary interviews, exploring not just economic but deep social causes of the decline.

What lingers after the viewing is an unexpectedly emotional immersion into cultural history, where the personal memories of masters form a collective picture of a national loss. It leaves a bitter aftertaste and many questions about the fate of art in the mass media age. — MovieFinder Editorial
