The Chant of Tiber’s Branches backdrop

The Chant of Tiber’s Branches 1961 Directed by Cecilia Mangini La Canta delle Marane

On a hot summer day, a group of boys of the Roman suburbs play and laugh in one of the many rivers that surround the city. The camera scrutinizes them, approaches them, reveals the gestures and glances, wraps them in a sort of visual dance, while the words of the commentary (entrusted to the poetic sensibility of Pier Paolo Pasolini) narrate the stories, desires, dreams, the future.
