Passione del grano (S)
1959 · Documentary · 11 min. · Italy
La passione del grano depicts a strange ritual, whereby peasants in Lucania (Basilicata) symbolically kill a goat with their sickles and then strip a couple of their clothes. The rites of the south are not affirmed here, but merely stated as a critical reminder of what gets lost on the way to the nation’s future.
