Notes on a True Story
Directed by Luchino Visconti
Produced by Documento Mensile
A stark neorealist documentary meditation on a child's brutal murder and its reverberating grief through a poor Roman community.
On the evening of March 11, 1950, Annabella Bracci, a 12-year-old girl, was brutally killed and thrown into a pit on the outskirts of Rome, near the village of Primavalle. A brief and poetic account of the events and their impact on an impoverished community. A handful of wild flowers and a painful catch in the voices.
