Not a Dream
2019, Italian. Directed by Giovanni Cioni.
We are in a film inside a film that develops from the rehearsal of the dialogues between Totò and Ninetto Davoli in Che cosa sono le nuvole by Pier Paolo Pasolini and fragments from La Vida es Sueño by Calderón de Barca. The rehearsals are repeated with clapperboards and become the starting point for tales of dreams, messages, songs and disputes about the human condition.
