Program Note
Eluana Englaro, who has lived in a vegetative state for 17 years now faces death and throws Italia into a chaos. A member of the upper house feels confused before voting on a bill on euthanasia. A famous actress has a daughter who is in coma. A drug-addicted woman tries to take her own life. The stories of these characters are carefully interwoven to ask the audience the meaning of life. The new film made by the Italian master Marco Bellocchio is an excellent work relating the classic 『The Sleeping Beauty』 to the sensitive issue of euthanasia. The three stories edited with the master's delicate rhythm suggest different viewpoints on euthanasia and encourage the audience to reflect on the issue. The mysterious aspect of the film makes it shine even more. There are three sleeping beauties but only the one chosen by the director wakes up. In this context, the first shot of the film is not to miss. Based on a real story from November 2008, the film lets the audience enjoy the acting of great actors including Isabelle Hupert, Tony Servillo and Alba Rohrwacher. (RHEE, Soue-won)
