We make love like this.

In playback.

The whole world does it.

 

The most beautiful love stories are those that end when one of the two dies instantly. Love in the collective imagination, between clichés, misogyny, pornography, feminism, sweetness and melancholy.

A man and a woman. S 'meet. They love each other. They eat. Daniele Timpano and Elvira Frosini crossed and shaken by the most disparate materials: from Faccetta nera to Little Tony, from the thirties songs to Frank Zappa and Celentano, from Goethe and Cavalcanti to Beautiful and Mahler, passing through the Harmony and the Gospel. Mum is always mum? Is the woman a madonna? And man is a hunter?
