'

To start with, there are pictures which proudly vaunt the Italian virtues. Filmed by professionals in the twenties, during the fascist era, they are the silent song of modern man, active and combative. But let's not fool ourselves, these sporting practices, from boxing to cycling, from aviation to racing cars, are vituperated by subtitles which the film maker uses with iconoclastic humour. Deliberately bombastic and grandiloquent, their commentaries challenge the validity of these films. The film invites us to join a group of of carefree blissful youths. The music with its repetitive discords, which undermined the pictures together with the subtitles, is transformed into a pleasant melody. The scenes extol a delicious serenity. The second part thus links up with scenes of well-to-do families. It is through this connection that Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi succeed in giving their film a political dimension.
