The following words are the introduction to the main theme of the film ‘So Many Roads,’ presented by the composer Riccardo Amorese and the actress, singer, and musician Demetra Bellina.
RICCARDO AMORESE:
«The song is part of the soundtrack of the film “Unbelievers.” With director Alessandro Marzullo, we were discussing during pre-production how music could serve as the common thread for this unconventional narrative. There are, in fact, three narrative threads that run parallel and never meet, except through some mysterious musical correspondences. We decided that a theme could unite the three stories, and since many of the actors play musical instruments and sing, the music could be performed on stage with a diegetic character. This motif represents a sort of recurring idea that appears recognizably throughout the film but varies depending on the stories it touches. For Mario Russo, it’s a score for solo violin and strings; for Giuseppe Cristiano, it’s a playful riff that resembles an offbeat beat, and finally, for Demetra Bellina, it’s a song to be interpreted during an evening when it seems like no one is listening. The version presented in the video is an acoustic rendition of the song (unreleased), with just guitar and vocals».
DEMETRA BELLINA:
«My character, for whom the film doesn’t even specify a name, is an unresolved girl who can’t find a place and a way to express what’s inside her. She roams without peace in lonely nights, continuously fleeing from deafening silence. We see her in crowded places, on empty planes where she carries out her flight attendant job without interest… in short, a perpetual motion in flight from everything and everyone. The only moment when she seems connected to herself and the world is when she performs this song in a venue, hoping to be heard by someone. “So Many Roads” tells of the spleen and the anguish of living that the character embodies. This theme is a mantra that emerges step by step, through indistinct existential passages, evoking the profound malaise of the society we live in, cradled by ancestral melancholy. When someone says, “I don’t believe in anything,” they are actually just crying out to the world their need to believe in something».
