Westmoreland Naples

1996 · 42 min

A dreamy, disorienting collage of poetry and cinema images that drifts between waking and madness, rewarding patience but resisting easy grasp.

Starring
Mario Martone
Overview
Allen Ginsberg is reading his poetry in the Trianon movie theater, which is a historical red light theater in Naples. At the same time, the hardcore film, Tutta una vita, is being projected. A member of the audience in his sixties drops off to sleep. His dream leads us to the edge of madness. There are readings of beat generation poetry, pop music trailers, impossible cinematographic screen tests, and special remakes of cinema-images by the most important exponents of the old and new "Neapolitan poetic".
