The Disappearance of my Mother
Beniamino Barrese
ITA/USA • 2019 • 94’ • VO/OV st Fr/En
Benedetta Barzini wants to disappear. She avoids images, cameras, the material world and appearances. From international fashion model in the 1960s to Marxist feminist in 2000, Barzini surprises us with her charisma and candour: "You're pissing me off with your camera," she often tells her son, who has created a sincere and poetic portrait of his mother. Like a journey towards a hypothetical euthanasia, a strange desire to disappear... a portrait of profound, human fatigue.
