Cinema Atlas Connection

As he told Cahiers du cinéma in 1972, 'We also saw L’età del ferro, which is a demonstration of how a technique changed man. These are the most important films of the last years for us, a cinema that tries to make things clear, not to express feelings, not to explain characters psychologically, but to make clear how things happen.'
