The Walk, dir. Giovanni Maderna, UK / Italy 2021, 62 min., English
Four months after his director’s edit of Heaven Without Earth premiered at the ICA, Italian director Giovanni Maderna returns with an extraordinary new feature – filmed in a single day by Robbie Ryan, the acclaimed director of photography on such films as Wuthering Heights, American Honey and The Favourite.
Rome, September 2020. The middle of the pandemic. A talkative, opinionated writer (Lino Musella) walks through the streets of Rome – and as he does so, he engages with the people he meets along the way. Masks on, masks off. Handshakes avoided – but embracing when the moment demands it. The Walk is inspired by Robert Walser’s extraordinary novel, published in 1917 – but this is very much a feature rooted in the here and now, a unique attempt to seize the crisis of the times through the lightness of the simplest of pleasures.
