A White Ballad -cinematic journey of words and images, about isolation, youth, decay and love.

A White ballad is movie directed by Stefano Odoardi who is also an artist (painter) thus his visual sense reflects in his work. This is movie about the couple who is very much in love with each other. Few years after their marriage they come to know that wife is suffering form incurable disease. Such news upsets the couple. Consequently after getting such bad news, their relation transforms in to more mature level. The director of the movie Stefano Odoardi said it’s an art film and according to him the movie is about accepting the death gracefully. The actions or the verbal or non verbal communication between them has more meaning, it becomes more genuine. Here the husband tries to give hundred percent to his wife before her death but not in the usual manner. Even the actions which they perform for each other or individually become more meaning full. They become more conscious about it and don’t what the single moment of their together life let go.

Director’s vision reflects that one doesn’t need verbal communication to know each other or exchange stance. There is no possibility of misunderstanding between intimate relations of the loved ones. The movie is successful in convincing that, many times silent communication proved more effective than the oral one. Stefano Odoardi thinks that his movie is visual narration of the story of the married couple; possessing minimum words are the best part of the movie. He wants audience to think more about the relations as some times we fail to understand sentiment presented or expressed in the words. Here he deals with the absence of words with meaningful responsible actions done for each other by the couple in the movie.

Most of the time it is noticed that, when it comes to the death of the dearest ones, we feel sad and react in the strange way or we simply fall down by cursing our destiny. Here instead the couple tries to find out new way of living life by showing their affection to each other. Putting heavy dialogues in the movies is primordial; here I want to show that visual impact is equivalent to the artistic words perhaps more powerful. The cause behind making this movie is not just an entertainment, I what people to think more about the relations in some different bearing. This movie also indicates that one should understand and respect the relations of our partners as length of the life can not be assured. Talking about the human tendency regarding life, we always come to know about the life, only when we come across unexpected situation like death. However on the other side I feel even after the death of the dearest, one can not hindered our self by loving them or communicate with them silently, still we can share our feelings with them and that is the meaning of true eternal love.
