The show MAS go on

About This Movie

So, 'The Show MAS Go On' is this intriguing piece that really captures the essence of Rome's MAS, those fascinating 'people's warehouses.' Rä di Martino plays with this blend of documentary and narrative, creating a bit of a dreamlike quality. The pacing is quite fluid, almost meandering, reflecting the atmosphere of the warehouses themselves. It's not just about showcasing the physical space, but also the stories and memories tied to it. The performances feel authentic, like you're eavesdropping on something real yet staged. It's distinctive in how it blurs the lines, making you question what’s real and what’s imagined. Definitely gives off a vibe that's hard to shake off after watching.

The film has seen limited distribution, making it somewhat scarce among collectors, especially in physical formats. I’ve come across it mostly in niche collections, with a few editions popping up at specialty shops. Its unique approach to storytelling and the cultural significance of the MAS warehouses pique the interest of those who appreciate more avant-garde documentaries. There’s definitely an audience for this kind of exploration of space and memory within the collector community.
