Film Forward: Tribute to Yervant Gianikian & Angela Ricci Lucchi

Italy 2004 71 Color
The third part of the directors’ World War Ι trilogy is set after the end of the war. From the emblems of totalitarianism to the human suffering of the individual, the film concludes in the representation of man as a victim of violence, full of anger. An anatomical catalogue of the wounded body, that focuses on the effects of the conflict on children between 1919-21, in a journey from the deconstruction to the artificial reconstruction of the human body. But what kind of humanity is this, that is capable of forgetting and allowing such horrors to be perpetrated once again?
