Below the Clouds

Breathtaking black & white portrait of Naples and the surrounding area. Documentary maker Gianfranco Rosi criss-crosses the region between Vesuvius and the coast both above and below ground. A warm homage to those who live where the earth is always restless. Tourists wander Naples’ crowded alleyways, carabinieri catch graverobbers, archaeologists dig up an ancient Roman villa, firemen investigate clandestine tunnels: things are always restless in Vesuvius’ shadow reveals documentary maker Gianfranco Rosi.
