Nonton Someplace in Your Mouth Sub Indo

Some Place in Your Mouth is shot in the Forum car park on the edge of Palermo. Young men sit on bouncing mopeds; cars overloaded with sub-woofers pound with base. The camera registers male posture. But it also captures moments of being together, of unspoken courtship, of physical, sonic encounters. A voiceover reads a poem by American writer Magdalena Zarawski, from which the film takes its title. The tight 5 stanzas, here translated into Italian, pull the listener in. Its fleshy tones and disarming syntax feels its way through the sublime, the bodily and the ecstatic. The meeting of Zurawski’s poem, images of Sicilian sub-culture and found footage of wheelies and races is both unlikely and tender; their different worlds, and forms, become strange and close.
