The Wretched of the Earth (1969)
Upon his death, a young African director, Abramo Malonga, bequeathed his first and last unfinished film to his former teacher, the Italian director Fausto Morelli. Morelli, after having seen the work, is faced with a puzzling, complex and, in part, incomprehensible work. Helped by Abramo Malonga's young widow and by the notes left by his deceased friend, and again by his personal memories, the Italian director tries to reconstruct and complete the film. Fausto's work proceeds with difficulty, not only because of the problems that the film poses to him, but because of the problems that arise in his daily life. After a long crisis, after which he returns to Pisa with his old party mates and abandons himself to love and his own solitude, Fausto takes up the work of his African friend again, closing it with a last invention, in which, with daring metaphor, has refigured the human condition of our time.
