Black and white and strong contrasts in an award-winning Italian film
Ti mangio il cuore (Italy, 2022, 115″) shows a violent facet of Southern Italy, where no one escapes the logic of family feuds. Passion runs between the two protagonists, Andrea and Marilena and blood ties are visceral and powerful, for better or worse. The strongly contrasting photography visually reflects the harshness of the conflicts and the sharp division between both sides: it is all black or white, there is no room for any graduality.
Pippo Mezzapesa’s black and white, the centrality of women and the South connect the film with the section of the Diario Notturno exhibition dedicated to Scanno, one of Abruzzo’s most picturesque villages. Photographers such as Gianni Berengo Gardin, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Mario Giacomelli made Scanno inmortal with their shots, managing to evoke something that remains etched in collective memory: time, work, the flow of women’s lives.
