Film description
Each period has its fascism. With their “analytical camera,” as they define it, the directors dive in the neatly forgotten Italian colonial past in Ethiopia and proceed in a double reading – that of the images themselves and the way in which they were consumed: images of military exercises, a woman with her breasts bare, the reflection of Mussolini in Africa. The result is vital film about Europe that has committed suicide with two world wars and terrifying dictatorships, and now finds itself before new trials.
