Can one explain a city
relationships between people, love stories, or places
by putting a camera on a bicycle? Giuliano Ferrari tells us we can.
“Biciclette” is above all a piece of poetry, an intense reportage
told with the eye of one willing to look with love and interest
at human relationships, relationships between men and women,
people and things, people and places.
The real narrator, subject and object of this tale is the bicycle,
a means of transport, but above all a means in itself,
travelling concretely and symbolically between so many
different relationships, so many mini-stories that reveal life’s throb.
It reminds one of the film “Ladri di biciclette” (Bicycle Thieves)
in the sense that photos of minor events become images of history,
in a Neorealism that is modern and reworked for the sensitivity of today.
