« Voglio essere poeta e faccio di tutto per essere un veggente » Il Rimbaud ­­« africano » nella rilettura cinematografica e lirica di Nelo Risi

In the second part of his life Arthur Rimbaud settles in Ethiopia where he devotes himself to trade of guns. Is this second life a treachery of his poet’s original calling? In Una stagione all’inferno (A season in hell), a film made by Nelo Risi, that’s to say the poet and the trafficker, are linked together in a close relationship of reciprocity. Risi paints the portrait of a man who lives and dies in the ways of a poet also in the sands of Africain desert.
