«It is a journey, which started in Sardinia, which continues to cross my island to which I owe a lot for the gifts I received for the participation of the Sardinians but also for the contribution it gave me on an artistic, historical and anthropological level. I hope, through my work, showing it in all its magic and beauty, to give something back."
Thus the Oristano director Paolo Zucca on the day of the presentation in Cagliari, at the Odissea cinema, of his film "Gospel according to Mary" starting tomorrow, Thursday 23 May, throughout Italy (in 300 copies). The film is based on the novel of the same name by Barbara Alberti, first published in 1979 and now reprinted. The cast includes Benedetta Porcaroli (Maria) and Alessandro Gassmann (Giuseppe).
The third protagonist is Sardinia, which resembles the Galilee in which Mary of Nazareth lives, chosen to be the mother of Jesus. In the film she is observed with a poetic and revolutionary gaze: she is a rebellious spirit, a woman who loves freedom. Sardinia is present with its history, its archaeology, its landscapes and its identity. In the video the interview with Paolo Zucca.
