It also establishes the elegiac tone, with its rueful past tense, and the lovely, bluesy folk songs from Swedish singer-songwriter Daniel Norgren that provide the film’s only soundtrack, hinting from the start that for whatever reason, this story has already ended, and is being told from the far side.
Back in the city after an endless childhood summer, Pietro ( Luca Marinelli) remembers how his “legs forgot their nettle-stings” later he notes how his mother was “used to living among silent men.” This verbal language shares with the visual language an unassuming, direct kind of poetry. The narration - so often a crutch that book-to-film adaptations rely on too heavily - is sparing.
