Shot over a three-year period along the borders between Syria, Iraq, Kurdistan and Lebanon, Gianfranco Rosi’s Notturno gives voice to a human drama that transcends geographical divisions and calendar time, illuminating with encounters and images the daily life that lies behind the continuous tragedy of civilwars, brutal dictatorships, foreign invasions and interference and finally the murderous apocalypse of ISIS. All around, and within the consciousness of all, signs of violence and destruction: but in the foreground is the humanity that reawakens every day from a nocturne that seems infinite.
