Giorgio Morandi's dust

Giorgio Morandi's Dust is a biography of worldwide famous Italian painter Giorgio Morandi that retraces the most crucial locations of his life: his home/studio in via Fondazza (Bologna), the summer retreat on the hills of Grizzana with its beautiful landscapes, and the museums. The film focuses on his daily life, his habits, the disregard for the economic effects of his fame, his artistic research so personal even in the context of the major historical events that have marked the 20th century. The director's thoughts, which aim to define the personality of Morandi, join the anecdotes told by critics and friends of the Master. The paintings are mixed with the locations, and the locations become paintings, so the viewer's eye is offered the same vivid presence that fascinated the painter. The dust reigns undisturbed on everything. (official distributor synopsis)
