我母亲的消失

《我母亲的消失》是一部激进的纪录片，它诞生于一个渴望解放自己的母亲和一个渴望利用电影媒介与她保持亲密关系的儿子之间的一系列对抗之中。从个人为控制而进行的激烈斗争开始，它就转变成一个深度协作的项目，一个试图纠正几十年来由相机压抑的目光造成的伤害的项目。 　　Benedetta Barzini是一位受人尊敬的意大利模特，她通过成为一名记者和教授打破了陈规陋习，并通过公开批评时尚界根深蒂固的厌恶情绪而臭名昭著。但是现在，在她70多岁的时候，巴兹尼对图像世界的厌恶已经加深到一个存在主义的危机中。她悄悄地、毫无预兆地收拾好行李，告诉儿子贝尼阿米诺，她打算永远从物质世界消失。贝尼阿米诺惊恐万状，设计了一个计划，他希望允许她面对-而不是逃跑-她最不信任的东西：相机。通过拍摄她的电影，他打算挽救他母亲的真实本质，并保存她的叙事。Benedetta wants to disappear. An iconic fashion model in the 1960s, she became a muse to Warhol, Dali, Penn and Avedon. As a radical feminist in the 1970s, she fought for the rights and emancipation of women. But at the age of 75, she becomes fed up with all the roles that life has imposed upon her and decides to leave everything and everybody behind, to disappear to a place as far as possible from the world she knows. Hiding behind the camera, her son Beniamino witnesses her journey. Having filmed her since he was a child in spite of all her resistance, he now wants to make a film about her, to keep her close for as long as possible - or, at least, as long as his camera keeps running. The making of the film turns into a battle between mother and son, a stubborn fight to capture the ultimate image of Benedetta - the image of her liberation.
