Christ Stopped at Eboli
Drama
In the fascist Italy of 1935, a painter trained as a doctor is exiled to a remote region near Eboli. Over time, he learns to appreciate the beauty and wisdom of the peasants, and to overcome his isolation.
VIBE
A profound, unhurried immersion into a forgotten world. It feels like a quiet, dusty journal entry, observing the stark beauty and enduring spirit of a people overlooked by time and society. A deeply humanistic, observational experience.
