Intrigued by the fact that two of pope Francis’s trips – the frst to the refugees landing in Lampedusa; the second in 2021 to the Middle East – so closely mirrored the itineraries of his flms Fire At Sea and Notturno, Gianfranco Rosi follows the Pope’s Stations of the Cross. In observing the pontiff as he looks at the world, Rosi has established a dialogue between the archive footage of Francis’ pastoral journeys, the images of his own films, current events and recent history, creating a balance between the linear flow of time and the memory of the cinema. Any sense of closure would have gone against the evolutionary nature of the flm, its orientation towards whatever comes next: this open-endedness is the very essence of In viaggio.
