Film Troy In Altamurano 89 is an elegy for the unremembered. It argues that every human settlement, no matter how obscure, contains the whole of epic poetry within it. The film’s genius is to make us feel the weight of a street’s destruction as keenly as we would the burning of Ilium.

It remains a hidden gem, waiting for a viewer patient enough to find its Troy in the dust.
