Israeli filmmaker Micha Shagrir travels to Stromboli, the volcanic island in southern Italy. The island is of course partially famous from STROMBOLI, the film directed by Roberto Rossellini and starring Ingrid Bergman. Rossellini and Bergman began an affair here, with their emotions finding a geological corollary in the island's rumbling. Shagrir has something of an affair himself. But for him what's more remarkable is how, here, the land itself trembles from its own forces. In Shagrir's homeland, the land shakes itself trembles from the actions people make on it. Through this somewhat pointed but still insightful juxtaposition, Shagrir illuminates the geology and the culture of both places.
