La mia casa e i miei coinquilini - Il lungo viaggio di Joyce Lussu(2016)

La mia casa e i miei coinquilini - Il lungo viaggio di Joyce Lussu is a documentary portrait of the writer and activist Joyce Lussu, filmed through Marco Bellocchio's 1994 interview with her. The film explores a life shaped by exile, resistance, and literary passion. Shot in Lussu's home in Fermo, in Italy's Marche region, the documentary captures intimate domestic details—her straw handbag, Sardinian carpets, flowers on the kitchen table—that reveal a woman living without illusions but with fierce purpose. Bellocchio examines how Lussu transmits the extraordinary experiences she has witnessed: her years in Paris with her husband Emilio, struggles for women's rights in Sardinia, and her translations of poets who championed direct, socially conscious verse. The film weaves together memory, place, and the poetry of everyday life to construct a portrait of intellectual courage and emotional depth.
