- Synopsis
- The American director Raoul Walsh once said: "There are not thirty-six ways of showing a man getting on a horse" This statement was a kind of principle. As Edgardo Cozarinsky writes, the classic filmmaker knows that there are more than thirty-six ways, but he'll make us believe that the one we are seeing is the only truly possible. The film is divided into two main parts: in the first one, using excerpts from Walsh's films in which someone mounts horse, we ask ourselves, what is classical language really? In the second, a research process takes place between fiction and documentary where a character (perhaps the director of this film?) wonders about the origin of Raoul Walsh's phrase. This leads him to ask colleagues and cinephiles, even questioning the veracity of the phrase. Both parts will result in an experimental adventure movie. How much experimentation is there in classic cinema and how much classicism in the so-called "experimental cinema"?
