This was truly a unique experience. I haven't been a big Rossellini fan but this film was fantastic. I could see traces of Straub-Huillet in the presentation style but overall very little in common to anything I have seen before.
To evoke the pulse and rhythm of a civilization through conversations of people of various strata of the society was a great idea. I wonder if Rossellini was inspired by the teachings of Leon Batista Alberti who occupies a significant role in the third part of the series. I will need more time to process this film and all its ideas.
