Women Breastfeeding Old Men Movies

"Idyll broken," the first real movie Puglia

Stardust? The Riffa? The Capagira? My brother in law? Idyll is broken the first film shot in Puglia. Visible http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=3DVUnh9n95U&feature=related , was shot in 1931 by a landowner and a young photographer who pulled even dancing in the villagers

were times where shame and honor were the cornerstones in the life of a person. We are in the 30s, at Alberobello, a village in the 'hinterland of Bari, which although now a tourist destination, was a country that lived mainly in farming and agriculture. And the women refused to take part in the filming, the you can only see with the inhabitants in the final scene of the folk dances. Ankle long skirts, aprons and head scarves. These were our great grandmothers. It was still working on the horse and arms. It was the Apulian countryside. Pictures of past times, surrounded by the silence of this silent film that touches the skin and gives us some pleasant chills. Comes out after sixty years, and after nearly eighty years, today, is made available for anyone to see, all you need is a computer and an internet connection. Exhumed in 1990 from a chest, the film has created a fascinating research of the protagonists of the time. In Maurer, the director, who also starred in the film, along with Mario Passi, a pseudonym for one of the protagonists, the latter seems to have been the Marches, but were not found evidence or documents to confirm this. Ida Mantovani, the protagonist, came from London and had already taken part in other works filmed as "The hands on the eyes" and "The Legend of Wally." Under the pseudonym of Philip the Fair, Pasquale Jacobellis played the lead role. Jacobellis, in harmony with his character, he had actually completed their studies university in the city, or Bari Beat filming will move to Pescara, where he becomes a successful surgeon. During the restoration of the film, it was possible to trace the family, who believed that the film's story was just a legend that their father Pasquale was telling. Dirce Greselin, the antagonist, seems to vanish into thin air. It is said that it was the wife of the director, but no one knows more. The remaining female roles were played by his wife and mother-in-law of Raul Perugini, the operator, who will be the only one to continue working in the field and lose his life after the war, during the filming of a documentary in Argentina. Actor and not some other set were just friends and workers of the producer, the landlord Horace Bell, who happily took him to appear. Because of high costs, was not distributed. It was rarely shown in some village festival. The film was dedicated a few lines in the Corriere Film, March 18, 1933, but now restored, you can admire the samples on Youtube and leave comments on the matter. These fragments are present in the documentary "In search of lost film" by Angelo Amoroso d'Aragona, sponsored by and in cooperation with the TransTV More Production and the contribution of the Puglia Region, Department of the Mediterranean. Participated in the work of restoration National Film Archive, the Teca del Mediterraneo and the Business Club for Cultura.Una gem on Youtube that turns into a time machine. Deserves to be watched and commented. A quality movie, really valuable and that perhaps does not deserve to be in the same container where you can find videos of ignorant fools who ragazzuoli mobile phones as an extension of their upper limbs, but so much so, that's the beauty of democracy and freedom of the net.
