<p>"Jardins Numériques" is an association linked to the Franco-Italian associative network. We get the approval from <strong>Marco Bellocchio </strong>to <strong>produce a docu-fiction</strong> about him and with him by the Director <strong>Giuseppe Frigeni.</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img alt="Marco-bellocchio-3-1496244329" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/429230/Marco-Bellocchio-3-1496244329.jpg"> Marco Bellocchio.</p><p> </p><p><strong>THE MEETING</strong></p><p>From the encounter with Giuseppe Frigeni, Director of Opera, stage and lighting designer and the Paris based Association <em>Les Jardins Numériques</em> was born the idea of making a documentary film around and inspired by the work of the great Italian Director Marco Bellocchio.</p><p> </p><p>An ambitious and exciting project:<strong> Cast Marco Bellocchio and Adriano Aprà</strong>, the great Italian film critic.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img alt="Adriano_apra-1496243804" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/429223/ADRIANO_APRA-1496243804.jpg"> Adriano Aprà.</p><p> </p><p>This docudrama is the <strong>first portrait on Marco Bellocchio</strong>, a sort of <strong>Road Movie</strong>, more in the tradition of the <strong>romantic trip</strong>, immersion in his universe, where he and Adriano Aprà longtime friends, will play their own characters.</p><p> </p><p><strong>We will follow the main character, Marco Bellocchio, through a journey by train back to Bobbio (his home town in Italy). And will evoke stories, landmarks, encounters and some movies or cuts of the Filmography of the great Italian filmmaker.</strong></p><p> </p><p>This medium-length movie will be a tribute to the work and the art of Marco Bellocchio and a testament to his influence on the younger generations.</p><p> </p><p>We want to honor a different and deeper Bellocchio cinema vision by exposing the insight of Giuseppe Frigeni on Bellocchio, "<strong>a look at another artist by an artist</strong>."</p><p> </p><p>This film will be a tribute, a personal portrait, and an attempt, modest but sincere, to reconnect with some principles formal and expressive that Giuseppe Frigeni recognizes in Marco Bellocchio's work.</p><p> </p><p>Far from claiming the comprehensive analysis (which is particular of historians and critics), this film will be, either as a light support, which would shine through personal obsessions or as a palimpsest on which it will rewrite and redraw benchmarks of the figures of style by Marco Bellocchio.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>THE PROTAGONISTS</strong></p><p><strong>The maestro : Marco Bellocchio</strong></p><p>One of the central figures of Italian cinema.</p><p>It has been said that his films are committed, Baroque, subversive, provocative.
