Viaggio nel crepuscolo
By Augusto Contento
Film directed by Augusto Contento, co-produced by Cineparallax and Articolture, selected out of competition at the 78th Venice Film Festival, 2021. An exploration of the roads that lead into the cold darkness of Italian decline: decline of the family, of patriarchal society, of educational institutions, of religion. In a land where common, public, shared space is molded by a drab, amorphous egotism, even its revolutionary, socialist, communist ideals, mixed with a Manichaean Catholicism, have been transformed into fideistic and totalitarian dogmas.

[...] Through multiple languages, Paolo Cantù's music shapes the narrative sequences. The images are used like words in poetry and the sound defines the psychology of the characters, the dramaturgical quality of an action and the metaphysical side of a space .. .
(Valeria Di Brisco - Gagarin)
[...] The flow of animated images accompanies these important revelations and is underlined by Paolo Cantù's psychedelic rock that transforms the documentary into a hallucinated journey through the dark areas of a country without any identity ...
(Simone Emiliani – Sentieri Selvaggi)
