Below the Clouds in Amersfoort

In Below the Clouds, filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi explores the hidden depths of Naples, where the past and present constantly collide. Beneath the city's surface, archaeologists uncover forgotten Roman villas, while in the darkness of clandestine tunnels, tombaroli search for buried treasures. Set against the looming threat of Mount Vesuvius and the Campi Flegrei, this poetic black-and-white documentary offers a melancholic portrait of a life lived on the precipice of catastrophe, where residents are haunted by the ancient shadow of Pompeii.
