Neapolitan Songs

Neapolitan Songs

1970 · 10 min · ★ 6.0

A mixture of abstract images and, as if out of a Man Ray painting, a large mouth in the foreground with red lipstick slowly devours a raw liver and then goes on to eat a postcard. Meanwhile, romantic Neapolitan songs play in the background. As Andrea Giunta says: At the same time they function as a hyperbole of the feminine in a register impregnated with pop aesthetics (they are perfect lips and make-up), but in which the flesh introduces an element of deep transgression, with scatological tensions.

Twins still in their amniotic fluid announce our human condition, our compulsion to walk, move forward, run. When everything moves, we go through the forest of emotions in a dreamlike way. But it is thanks to water and its light reflections, to its transforming power that the infinite “Kosmos” plays with our uncertainty.

Movie
“ Cinema is what happens between frames," said German experimental filmmaker Werner Nekes. A woman and a man are on the ground together but it looks as though they are floating without moving. Silence overruns the scene; she stops and walks away. La Noche Bengalí is a documentary made as part of the seminar that Wernes Nekes held in Buenos Aires in 1980, sponsored by the Goethe Institute.
