	CARLO LEVI - BIOGRAFIA
		Carlo Levi, la sua esperienza personale, mandato dal regime fascista al confine in questo paese della Licania, la intreccia con efficacia alla scoperta di una umanità ugualmente "confinata", relegata ai margini della civiltà moderna.
		Quando nel titolo accenna a Cristo, Levi gli dà questo significato: per i Lucani Eboli è l'ultimo paese di cristiani (per Levi cristiano equivale a uomo), mentre in quelli successivi, cioè i loro, si fa una vita non da cristiani, ma da animali.
		Levi che proviene da Torino, da una città colta, lui stesso laureato in medicina, intellettuale e artista, ha subito il metro di misura per verificare nel luogo di confine dove è stato scaraventato, l'abisso di miseria e di ignoranza in cui è sprofondata la popolazione, in una condizione subumana.

	Cristo si e Fermato a Eboli
		Rosi's alternating perspectives recall the early scene in the book in which Carlo meditates on the town's petty bourgeoisie: "their passions, it was plain to see, were not rooted in history; they did not extend beyond the village, encircled by malaria-ridden clay; they were multiplied within the enclosure of half a dozen houses.
		Indeed, Carlo's encounter with the peasantry is not unlike Rosi's own, for although he, unlike Carlo, is himself a Southerner, both are urban intellectuals and hence almost equally far removed from the life of the peasantry.
		Which means that Levi in the film is a bit like me. The film is an encounter between a bourgeois intellectual representing a refined Northern culture and a completely different, distant world, the world of the peasant in one of the most neglected regions of the South.

		Carlo Levi nació en Turín el 29 de noviembre de 1902 y murió en Roma el 4 de enero de 1975.
		La crítica en general ha considerado que Levi alcanzó la madurez pictórica en su evolución figurativa con la producción lucana, separándola de la fase lírica turinesa y de las instancias impresionistas de la pintura del período 1931 a 1933.
		El exilio de Levi en París le impidió una participación activa en el debate, pero la actualidad de la poética de su pintura lucana y la originalidad de las propuestas figurativas ya habían aparecido en toda su evidencia.
