Per Speculum

Overview

Making mention of the Epistles to the Corinthians, the title of this film refers to the mirror, which according to Saint Paul is the metaphor for our present condition: distorted, adrift, incomplete, “shaken by an enigma”. Adrian Paci, however, a magnificent and internationally recognised Romanian artist, highly passioned about the work of Pasolini, cites this Platonic sentence to better play with it. For it is children, as joyous and lively as a flock of birds, he entrusts with these fragments of thoughts. Even coming to admire them, in short, as they populate the branches of the tree of knowledge, dazzling with their bright splendour.
