| | | 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 lifes 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. | |
