Gli orizzonti del sole (1955) di Giovanni Paolucci
“Gli orizzonti del sole” e’ un delicato film per ragazzi diretto da Giovanni Paolucci nel 1954, scritto dallo stesso regista insieme a Paride Rombi, ambientato sullo sfondo del Lago Maggiore. E’ la storia del piccolo Paolo, insofferente della disciplina del collegio cui lo ha iscritto sua madre, famosa cantante di musica lirica. Paolucci era un bravo documentarista e usa la natura come metafora rasserenante dei buoni sentimenti che albergano nel ragazzo e che alla fine trovano un loro equilibrio. Il film fu girato a colori ma l’unica copia in circolazione e’ in bianco nero. Questa copia e’ dalla mia collezione, editata con una piccolissima parte mancante e migliorata in contrasto e luminosita’. Il film fu presentato alla 15ª Mostra internazionale d'arte cinematografica di Venezia e alla 6ª Mostra Internazionale del Film per Ragazzi di Venezia, vincendo il Primo premio ex aequo del C.I.D.A.L.C. e la Gondola d'argento.
================================
"The horizons of the sun" is a children's film directed by Giovanni Paolucci in 1954, written by the director himself together with Paride Rombi, set against the backdrop of Lake Maggiore. It is the story of little Paolo, intolerant of the discipline of the college in which his mother, a famous operatic singer, enrolled him. Paolucci was a good documentary filmmaker and uses nature as a reassuring metaphor for the good feelings that exist in the boy and that in the end find their balance. The film was in colour but the only copy in circulation is in black and white. This copy is from my collection, edited with a very small missing part and improved in contrast and brightness. The film was presented at the 15th Venice International Film Festival and at the 6th Venice International Children's Film Festival, winning the first prize ex aequo of the CIDALC and the Silver Gondola.
