A GHOSTLY YET LUMINOUS CINEMATIC MOSAIC OF NAPLES Shot in luminous black and white, Below the Clouds is the result of three years lived “on the horizon of Vesuvius, looking for traces of history, the excavation of time, what remains of everyday life”, as the filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi explained. The narrative time of the film is the Circumvesuviana, the 142 kilometres-long railway network that traverses the oriental part of Naples’s metropolitan area, inhabited by 2 million people. A land that shakes and boils over from the fumaroles of the Phlegraean Fields. Review: Below the Clouds | Cineuropa
