The last summer (8mm, b/n, 1969) is a film by Massimo Bacigalupo, first chapter of the four-part-cycle Eryngium. the author describes the film as follows: “This is a moment of stillness in the course of the great migration. As in the family, the older members are saying goodbye to life, whereas the younger members are approaching it with gusto. Contemporary life is made to reveal an archaic substratum. Natural process is always there to sustain vision and acceptance.”
