Portrait of Massimo Bacigalupo

Now a distinguished scholar of Anglo-Saxon literature (he won the Opera Prima Viareggio Prize with an essay on Pound), Bacigalupo talks about himself and his idea of cinema. With the complicity of Brunatto and Zeichen after at least 20 years of inactivity as a filmmaker, he picks up a camera again and indulges in a nostalgic and amusing remake of one of his 8 mm. films shot in Portofino when he was 14.
