Lost and Beautiful PG
Coming to cinemas alongside Pietro Marcello’s celebrated new film Martin Eden, is his debut feature Lost and Beautiful. A ravishing film shot entirely on expired 16mm stock, previously unreleased in the UK.
Despite death threats from the Mafia and his country’s general apathy, a humble shepherd, Tommaso, takes it upon himself to look after the abandoned Bourbon palace of Carditello. When Tommasso is seized by a heart attack, he summons a masked character named Pulcinella, to grant him one final wish. Sparking a long journey through a lost and beautiful Italy, searching for something which may no longer exist.
A remarkable film that swings delicately between drama, documentary and fantasy, Lost and Beautiful is a distinctive melancholic fairytale.
