Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
CROSSING THE LINE
Il passaggio della linea
Synopsis
A journey through Italy marked by the rhythmic sound of the long distance express trains. Landscapes flash past, at times marred by the intervention of Man, at times intact and beautiful. Inside, the passing of time is marked only by the variations of light. A terrain of encounters and solitude.

Our take
A breakthrough for Italian auteur Pietro Marcello (Martin Eden), this timeless travelogue hauntingly uncovers the dreams and hurdles of the working class while being occasionally disrupted by the turbulence of the outside world. Winner of the Pasinetti Doc Award at the Venice Film Festival.
