1. 1. Scolpire Il Tempo

   Reflections on the Cinema

   

   A contemplative blend of memoir and film theory in which the director reflects on cinema as an art of 'sculpting' time, arguing that film reveals spiritual and moral truths through duration, rhythm, and image rather than plot-driven exposition. He describes his working methods — long takes, precise mise-en-scène, sound design and editing as acts of poetry — and recounts the creative and ethical struggles behind his major films, using personal anecdotes to illustrate how memory, dreams and inner necessity shape cinematic expression. Throughout the book he defends the autonomy of the filmmaker, explores the sacred dimension of art, and proposes that film’s power lies in its ability to make time tangible and transform perception.
