Compasses of the World: Cinema and Women by François Truffaut
Women's legs
they are like compasses
which measure the globe in all directions,
giving it its balance and harmony.
François Truffaut
A digital exhibition that, hosted in the museum space completely reconfigured for the occasion, explores Truffaut's cinema and the feminine world that runs through all his works.
The exhibition, with free admission, will remain on the program until August 10, only in the evening. Consult the page of the MAV website www.museomav.it/icompassidelmondo for opening times and days)
The exhibition is a paradise of female beauty, as Fellini (City of Women), an author adored by Truffaut, would have wanted it: a springtime anthology of legs, a large bouquet of 'compasses', young, straight, well-turned.
On the 40th anniversary of Truffaut's death (October 21, 2024), the exhibition is a long parable: punctuated in his films by equally seductive parables of feminine charm. Compasses, those of Bernadette Lafont, in the first accessible short film, Les Mistons, compasses those of Fanny Ardant, his last great love, in Vivement dimanche! The exhibition retraces Truffaut's entire cinema, setting in motion, with frames and a series of freeze-frames, the legs of his feminine firmament, from Catherine Deneuve to Jeanne Moreau, from Isabelle Adjani to Françoise Dorléac.
During the evening, the exhibition catalogue, I compassi del mondo, published by Cronopio Editore, will also be presented.
The cultural narration of the MAV/Virtual Archaeological Museum of Herculaneum continues in beauty and inclusion, which, a few hundred meters from the archaeological excavations of ancient Herculaneum, represents a center of culture and technology applied to Cultural Heritage and communication among the most cutting-edge in Italy, thanks to the technological magic of the latest version MAV 5.0 – Virtual multiReality, the most advanced ever which, since October 2019, has radically revolutionized the way of living the cognitive experience of the virtual journey into the life and splendor of the main archaeological areas of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Baia, Stabia and Capri, to better understand their past and beauty, in a journey preparatory to visiting the open-air archaeological sites of the Campania region.
The use of the MAV museum, thanks always to the initiative “The MAV exclusively for you”, through a dedicated reservation, can always take place exclusively for organized groups of up to 20 people, at a special entrance fee, from Tuesday to Sunday, with the only recommendation to stagger visits every hour.
