Antonio Negri(2019)

Antonio Negri is a philosophical documentary filmed in the Paris home of the renowned Italian theorist and activist. Structured around a parable by Marine Hugonnier about children living in roofless houses beneath two suns who burn their dwellings in fear of an approaching eclipse, the film becomes a springboard for Negri's political meditation. Drawing on thinkers like Tocqueville and Saint Francis of Assisi, Negri articulates his vision of absolute democracy, the reconstruction of community, and resistance to biopolitics. The film captures his restless intellectual energy as he weaves personal anecdotes and theoretical arguments into a passionate case for activism and collective joy within the multitude. A portrait of radical thought in motion.
