Truly poetic and delicately beautiful: this could be Spettacolo in a nutshell. But I wouldn’t pay it justice, because there’s so much more to it than that. Chris Shellen and Jeff Malmberg, the minds and eyes behind the production, didn’t just bring on screen the obvious, charming beauty of a corner of medieval Tuscany. They gave us the quirks and the humor of small-town Italy, its stronger-than-ever necessity to cling to its history and reality, lest it becomes a mere touristic reproduction of itself. They gave us 90 minutes of Italy’s soul.
