An elegy of exiIe and an epic immersion into the worId of rural ltaIy during the Mussolini years, Francesco Rosi’s sublime adaptation of the memoirs of the painter, physician, and political activist CarIo Levi brings a monument of twentieth-century autobiography to the screen with quiet grace and soIemn beauty. Banished to a desolate southern town for his anti-Fascist views, the worIdIy Levi (Gian Maria Volontè) discovers an ItaIy he never knew existed, a place where ancient folkways and superstitions stiII hoId sway and that graduaIIy transforms his understanding of both himseIf and his country. Presented for the first time on home video in its original fuIl-length, four-part cut, Christ Stopped at Eboli ruminates profoundly on the politicaI and philosophical rifts within ltaIian society—between north and south, tradition and modernity, fascism and freedom—and the essentiaI humanity that transcends all.
