Not Coming to a Theater Near You

Il Capo

BALAGAN – A surprisingly poetic documentary short shot in an Italian marble quarry, Il Capo finds the strangeness in the spinning wheels and giraffe-like necks of heavy machinery, and the grace in the weathered face and nonverbal gestures of the man directing the machines. The film ends with sweeping shots of the mountains that the surround the noisy quarry site, perhaps a testament to the power of the work being done there, perhaps as an expression of awe at all that we cannot move.
