A pugni chiusi

The artistic and existential parable of the Swedish origins artist Lou Castel. An experienced 'trapped' between two characters directed by Marco Bellocchio: the Alessandro of I pugni in tasca (1965) and Giovanni of Gli occhi, la bocca (1982). Crossing a Rome suspended between post-industrial archeology and Pasolini wrecks, Castel starts a long stream of (un) consciousness on his role as actor and at the same as time political activist, in a generous act of love towards what is left of his trade today.
