Statement of the Director/s
We made a film about life, how to live it to the full, through the prism of solitude and loneliness.
About our society, how it treats its weakest members, how we don't know our neighbours anymore.
A film that wants to celebrate the value of ordinary lives, in particular of those that pass and end unnoticed.
A film that would have been impossible without an actor of the talent and generosity of Eddie Marsan.
Biography of the Director/s
"Still Life" is Uberto Pasolini's second feature as director, following the critically acclaimed, Sri Lanka set "Machan" which won the Europa Cinemas Label Award in Venice and collected numerous other international film festival prizes.
