From the Clouds to the Resistance
Two segments. The first one arranges six stories from Cesare Pavese’s «Dialoghi con Leucò», taken from classical mythology. The second segment is taken from Pavese’s novel «La luna e i falò»: after World War II the emigrant «The Bastard» comes back to his village in the Langhe (northern Italy) to find out that everyone he knew has died, and that the war has deeply changed relationships between people.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a stark dichotomy, relying on Pavese's texts to juxtapose timeless mythological dialogues with the gritty aftermath of war. It explores the chasm between archetypal stories and individual trauma through a deliberate, painterly visual style.
What lingers after viewing is a profound sense of dislocation—both geographical and historical—and a meditation on where one finds resistance when familiar worlds vanish. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Danièle Huillet
