Alina Marazzi occupies a very special place in the history of Italian women filmmakers for her experimental style and feminist approach.1 By using found footage and home movies Alina Marazzi questions the Western representation of the “Woman” and re-visions real women’s complex interior landscapes. She pays particular attention to motherhood (either realized or unfulfilled) as a problematic condition of identity and investigates the crucial role of the mother-daughter relationship. Marazzi’s trilogy Un’ora sola ti vorrei (2002), Vogliamo anche le rose (2007), and Tutto parla di te (2012) explores the sense of displacement, failure, and inadequacy women face whether they choose to perform traditional social roles or to reject the socially validated idea of happiness. Marazzi’s work also reflects on the difficulties for women in struggling for freedom and self-fulfillment in an oppressive society.
