The acclaimed film
By Paolo and Vittorio Taviani
Starring Omero Antonutti, Margarita Lozano

The Taviani brothers' visually stunning film brings to life four of Luigi Pirandello's short stories. Tales of love, sorrow and laughter, shaded by superstition and gentle irony and dominated by the harsh landscapes of Sicily, lead to an imagined episode in the writer's own life.
Pirandello was born in Sicily near the forest of Cavusu, the dialect corruption of the Greek word 'kaos'. 1: The Other Son 2: Moon Sickness 3: The Jar 4: Requiem 5: Conversing with Mother
