Sicily! of

Federico Tyst Querin

Non-acting; non-actors; not present. Sicily! it is the stylistic negation of cinema: dialogues that constantly refer to another/elsewhere, not acted by a cast of non-professional actors deprived of any facial expression, any vocal intonation (a bit like in the trashy "masterpiece" Tre carrigne in Mapasso). Yet, despite this poetics of negation, so to speak, the film by the Straub-Huillet duo is magnetic and bewitching. Read all

plot

A man returns to visit his native Sicily after living in New York for a long time. He learns about the Sicilian way of life from stylized conversations with an orange picker, his fellow train passengers, his mother, and a knife-sharpener.
