Curatorial note:
Lately, the word “empathy” has been widely used as a response to discourses of hate, violence, and intolerance. I agree that this kind of “empathy” is necessary to cross the borders that separate us from others—to understand the feelings and, at times, the suffering that others go through. In this intimate film, Matarrese portrays Dr. Bini, who treats his patients with absolute empathy—and a touch of humor—offering them much more than a medical treatment. Mariano Pozzi
