Pulcinella, a foolish servant, is sent from the depths of Mt. Vesuvius to present-day Campania to grant the last wish of poor shepherd Tommaso, who spent his whole life looking after a crumbling Bourbon estate: his mission is to save a young buffalo named Sarchiapone. Pulcinella takes the buffalo north and the two servants, man and beast, travel through a beautiful and lost Italy.

I think this is how a trip would feel in rural Italy.
There's multiple beautiful shots with a folkloric/mythical atmosphere. Sometimes it felt as I would watch a fairy tale in a post-post apocalyptic world.
The theme behind film is really interesting, considering how it started as a documentary and ended up as documentary-esque fiction.
I didn't know anything about Italy's history but it's sure that they have/had an identity crisis as a country.
Personally I have a long forgotten connection with angulates, to be precise with lambs. My grandfather used to own cattle and later sheep and I had 3 lambs as my "pets". They had a unique way to show their affection and it stuck with me ever since.

"Sarchiapone e Balthazar: santi martiri di un mondo che non li merita."
Un requiem pasoliniano per un'Italia che affoga nella spazzatura e nell'indifferenza.
Pietro Marcello trasforma la cronaca (la "Terra dei Fuochi") in una fiaba nera, dove l'unico sguardo puro è quello di un bufalo condannato a morte.
Tommaso era l'angelo custode, Pulcinella è il traghettatore, ma è l'animale che ci giudica in silenzio.
Di una bellezza straziante.

Vivimos una época excepcional donde, casi sin darnos cuenta, el cine está tomando, más bien recuperando, unos caminos de fusión entre realidad y ficción realmente notables. En este sentido, el realizador italiano Pietro Marcello ha dado buena muestra de ser uno de los nombres a tener en cuenta, a tenor de lo visto en Filmadrid donde se ofreció una retrospectiva de su trabajo. Además, este mismo fin de semana se estrena la que es ya su gran obra, Bella y perdida, película que obtuvo dos menciones en el pasado Festival de Locarno, además de numerosos reconocimientos internacionales.
