Duse
Overview
Intro
Film-conference on legendary actress Eleonora Duse, on the occasion of the Semaine de la langue italienne dans le monde. Speaker: Martin Rueff
Eleonora Duse's legendary career seems to be coming to an end, but in the fierce times between the Great War and the rise of Fascism, laDivinaresshears a call stronger than any resignation and returns to where her life began: on stage.
It's not just the call of the theater that drives her, but a deep-seated urgency: the need to assert herself in a world of inexorable change that threatens to wrest everything from her, including the independence she has earned through a lifetime of work. Unexpected financial setbacks force her to make a choice, and so, once again, Eleonora chooses the theater as the only space of truth and resistance.
With her art as her only weapon, she defies time and disenchantment, transforming every word and gesture into a revolutionary act. But the price of beauty in the face of the brutality of power and history is high: her loved ones seem to be drifting away, and her health is deteriorating. Yet Eleonora will face her final journey, demonstrating that we can renounce life itself, but never our own nature.
Film in Italian with French subtitles.
