An impossible meeting of the cinema History.
In Non ricordo il titolo, Marcello Mastroianni and Ingrid Bergman are doubled by two stand-ins, each bearing perfect resemblance to them. It consists of the scenes evocative of Stromboli (Roberto Rossellini) and L’Avventura (Michelangelo Antonioni), as well as the two protagonists’ dialogues reminiscent of L’Année dernière à Marienbad (Alain Resnais) which betray their futile effort to understand each other. However, Non ricordo il titolo is not a simple citation or revival of old time masterpieces. It explores the duality of film images as the world itself and its simulacrum, and is an attempt to recreate those images that resonate within the viewer’s dream and memory in their ephemeral yet spectral appearance.
