Tra Ponente e Levante: Life in Riva
The house where Lazzarin ' (as everyone calls him) spends his days becomes the starting point to tell, through heterogeneous archival materials, private but also from institutional archives, the story of an italian village recomposed through the stories of its inhabitants . The characters of this choral novel speak with their own voice. A first person narration give back to the unit a multiple snippets of conversation, captions of old photographs, essays of seamanship, testimonies and popular legends, following Lazzarin' in his long silent days. The composition of the shots is based on the synthesis: the narrative proceeds along articulated images suggesting a complexity of viewpoints. But it's in the transition from memorabilia to artworks that emerges the stylistic side of this project: all the elements of the archives, created in response to specific needs, primarily of memory and documentation, they are considered in an aesthetic perspective and re-used in the composition of narrative original images.

The actors do a good job. Nice story.
One of the best movies for History lovers
For the first time in many, many years with this movie I was taken away from the problems in my life and went to a place where those things didn't register anymore. And one thing I know for sure Tra Ponente e Levante. Avventure di mare, memorie private, archeologia industriale a Riva Trigoso is over the top!
One of the better movies I've seen lately.
