“A rewarding, wryly funny mosaic of a turbulent city, flanked by volcanoes and rich with stories.” —Wendy Ide, Observer
From award-winning filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi comes Pompei: Below the Clouds, a striking portrait of life in Naples, a city living in the shadow of Vesuvius. Beneath the quiet threat of eruption, people go about their days: archaeologists unearth the past, children learn as the earth hums, firefighters wait for the next call.
The result is a portrait at once local and universal: a reflection on humanity’s capacity to live, love, and rebuild in the shadow of the unimaginable. Winner Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival. 2025, Italy, DCP, in Italian, Arabic, Japanese, and English with English subtitles, 114 minutes. Recommended for 15+.
