Taken by the Romans

Rarely does a city's interior come alive as in this expansive film by Chris Felver. Rhapsodic and poetic, the film highlights Rome in the context of the many painters, sculptors, and conceptual artists who have made the eternal city a backdrop for continuing the revolution of the image. Beginning with Forma Uomo, a group of artists working just after the end of World War II, and moving through three successive generations, the city speaks its mind. Together, their conversations constitute a lively and animated discussion of the varied currents that make up the creative process. Giulio Turcato, Sandro Chia, Pietro Consagra, Jannis Kounellis, Enzo Cucchi, and Fabio Mauri, Pasolini's collaborator, are among the artists featured here.
