Massimo Recalcati

Will it still be possible to love you?

Love resists time. It would never die. In Last Tango in Paris – Bernardo Bertolucci's masterpiece – Maria Schneider and Marlon Brando remind us that love would like to turn fate into destiny. But this transformation is not guaranteed. In fact, it is almost impossible. Isn’t love that can last an impossible love, after all? Massimo Recalcati enters the labyrinth of love life, and he investigates the miracle of love – the most mysterious feeling of all.

Readings by the actress Andrea di Silvio.
