This second program of Risi’s recently rediscovered documentaries, made between 1946 and 1950, features experiments in form and genre: Buio in sala, his early attempt at combining comedy and neorealism; and Truth Serum, his fascinating, Rashomon-like meditation on the relativity of truth. Also included is Paradise for 3 Hours, about a suburban dance hall, his contribution to the 1953 anthology film Love in the City.
