“Certain techniques in Sopraluoghi derive directly from Comizi d'amore, and will be reused with resounding success in Appunti per un'Orestiade africana, where the lack of a realized narrative film of the Oresteia, and the sophisticated combination of narrative information on the proposed final product, pure observation, speculation on how narrative and landscape might be spliced together, and open discussion of the contemporary political relevance of the myth to Africa, powerfully promote the transitional form.”
