Every family has patterns of behaviour and tropes that obsess them. Though not every family has a patriarch genius who put those in place more or less in the public eye. Alessandro Rossellini is the grandson of Roberto Rossellini. The Rossellinis Alessandro visits and captures on camera are his aunts, Isabella Rossellini and her twin sister Ingrid Rossellini, his father Renzo Rossellini, his uncle Robin Rossellini, aunt Nur Rossellini and his mother Katherine Cohen.
He opens with Roberto Rossellini’s funeral on June 6, 1977, where we get a glimpse of the protagonists of this documentary. The voiceover by the grandson helps to keep track of the groundbreaking, cinema changing director’s wives and seven children, with “the illegitimate ones unknown.” This is a danger zone, and more than once does Alessandro venture into swamps where no one wants to tread.
