Amadeo Lorenzato: Earth and Echo

This docufiction road movie intertwines the extraordinary early-life journey of Brazilian modernist painter Amadeo Lorenzato—who, as a young man in the 1920s, cycled from Italy to Turkey on a self-made bicycle—with the filmmaker’s own pilgrimage retracing his path.

 

Blending historical re-enactment, poetic documentary, and artistic meditation, the film explores how hardship and movement shaped Lorenzato’s unique visual transformational language.

 

This approach positions the film as a meditative yet dynamic exploration of art, time, and human tenacity, appealing to both cinephiles and art lovers while offering fresh insights into an overlooked master.
