ROME FILM FESTIVAL

Italy’s “Voce” has a brief writeup, again via Google Translate.

Redford, Malick and their commitment environmentalist Presented the documentary The Unforeseen

Presented yesterday Oct. 19 Extra section, The Unforeseen Laura Dunn. A confirmation of the fact that Extra or, as in the previous edition, the most interesting of the International Festival of Rome.

The film presents itself as a documentary narrative that focuses on environmental protest to Austin Texas, and is not proposing a tone of complaint or inquiry, but hides behind an appearance of simple documentation and then leave them leaked slowly on the surface.

The Unforeseen is the umpteenth film about ecological problems / environmentalists and on the conflict between nature and progress, but manages to get highlighted in this view of gender films thanks to some suggestive images it offers, and especially thanks to those excerpts of present in visual poetry. . In addition, it raises the wake of documentaries such as “Inconvenient Truth” Al Gore and “The 11th Hour” with Leonardo DiCaprio, because although the latter dash of global warming and the film of Dunn has instead argument for the destruction of environment of Texas by the government, such works are characterized by a significant civil commitment does not stop at words and trying to move public opinion with the production of international films.

The executive producers of The Unforeseen are Terrence Malick and Robert Redford. We will see both the Feast of Rome in the coming days: the first for a unique and unrepeatable meeting with the public and the press, the second with his film “Lions for Lambs.”
