20 years without Bene/Our lady of the Turks

"The lightning-fast passage of Carmelo Bene in the cinema, between 1968 and 1975, is a meteor that has created unclassifiable and basically removed works of our cinema": to say and support it is Emiliano Morreale, professor at the University of Rome La Sapienza and leading expert on the cinema of Bene who curates the review “Against the cinema. Review on Carmelo Bene's cinema ”screening in the spaces of the Castromediano Museum in Lecce.
