From award-winning filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi comes Pompei: Below the Clouds, a striking portrait of life in Naples, a city living in the shadow of Vesuvius. Beneath the quiet threat of eruption, people go about their days: archaeologists unearth the past, children learn as the earth hums, firefighters wait for the next call. The result is a portrait at once local and universal: a reflection on humanity’s capacity to live, love, and rebuild in the shadow of the unimaginable.
“Brims with life and contrast… among his warmest works, rich in pleasures of place and weather and human motion.” – Guy Lodge, Variety
“A strong reminder that Rosi is one of our greatest documentarians.” – Marc van de Klashorst, ICS Film
“A masterclass in image-making.” – Gregory Nussen, Screen Rant
