Inside and outside the spectacle of life. Literature and cinema as an inside-out mirror of reality.

Literature and cinema, two related worlds. They openly dialogue in Francesco Piccolo’s La bella confusione (Einaudi), a journey behind the scenes of Federico Fellini’s Otto e mezzo and Luchino Visconti’s Il gattopardo. They nfluence each other in Antonio Spadaro’s Una trama divina (A Divine Plot), a scripted novel that, shot after shot, even with the intervention of Martin Scorsese, renders a complex and authentic portrait of Jesus, a free man in search of the meaning of life.
