Il Signor Rossi a Venezia
Directed by
Mr. Rossi finds himself in Venice. His adventures unfold in an increasingly unsettling lagoon, aboard overloaded and unsafe vaporetti, where the Venice of postcards is but a distant memory...
«The most beautiful phrase I remember in my life was said by a child: "What is a drawing? It's an idea with a line around it." It's beautiful and represents my entire life.
For about thirty years, I've tried to see living beings from afar, and like a cartoon, the further I get, the more they become microorganisms, bacteria that conquer and destroy everything. Sure, they've made many wonderful discoveries and inventions, but we can't judge them solely on the basis of a few enlightened figures. It doesn't take much to see how humans change when they become numbers and no longer people. That's why, in the third episode of Sapiens?, humans are depicted in silhouette, becoming symbols of destruction. So, as a symbol of life, I chose the bee, because it's said that if it were to become extinct, we would soon disappear with it».
