About This Movie

Detto per Detto is this deep dive into Ernesto De Martino's work, particularly his views on the subaltern popular world. The tone is reflective, almost meditative at times, as it explores these longstanding traditions and practices that are often overlooked. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the nuances of the rituals and beliefs that shape these communities. The film relies on authentic footage and real-life interviews, which adds a rawness that feels genuine and compelling. It's fascinating how De Martino’s insights still resonate, shedding light on cultural identities that persist through generations, almost like a whisper from the past that demands to be listened to.
