On Episode 138 of Floating Through Film, we continue our series picked by Dany, Roberto Rossellini! Dany starts the episode with a discussion on what it means to say that Rossellini's camera explores the "enigmatic rapport between people and the world: how people relate to landscape, to each other, to the transcendent. (Bergala)". He then relates this to a discussion on Rosselini's thoughts on acting, and how actors should be used in film (21:43). We then review the two films for this week, 1950's The Flowers of St. Francis (40:38), and 1959's India: Matri Bhumi (1:40:37).
