Lorenzo Mattotti’s 2019 adaptation of Dino Buzzati’s La famosa invasione degli orsi in Sicilia (1945) deserves special attention for three important reasons. First, Mattotti gives this long-undervalued work the preeminence it deserves as an iconotext that can be read by children and adults alike. Second, the movie introduces narrative elements from other works by Buzzati, ranging from Il deserto dei Tartari (1940) to I Miracoli di Val Morel (1971). Third, Mattotti’s film enhances two themes that were already present in Buzzati’s work: the contrast between human and animal perspectives, and the comparison between the city and the mountains. The filmic transposition develops these two themes: the first is transformed into a conflict between social groups, personifying issues that are highly debated today (the subaltern state, migration, postcolonialism); the second can be interpreted as an ecocritical rereading of Buzzati’s text. The struggle against social discrimination and the protection of the natural environment make Mattotti’s movie highly relevant because it addresses urgent contemporary issues.
洛伦佐·马托蒂(Lorenzo Mattotti) 2019年改编自迪诺·布扎蒂(Dino Buzzati)的《西西里的著名入侵》(La famosa invasion one degli orsi in Sicilia)(1945)值得特别关注,原因有三个。首先,马托蒂赋予了这部长期被低估的作品应有的卓越地位,使其成为儿童和成人都能阅读的标志性文本。其次,影片引入了布扎蒂其他作品的叙事元素,从1940年的Il deserto dei Tartari到1971年的I Miracoli di Val Morel。第三,马托蒂的电影强化了布扎蒂作品中已经存在的两个主题:人与动物视角的对比,城市与山脉的对比。电影的转换发展了这两个主题:第一个主题转化为社会群体之间的冲突,将当今备受争议的问题(次等国家、移民、后殖民主义)人格化;第二种可以解释为对布扎蒂文本的生态批评重读。反对社会歧视和保护自然环境的斗争使马托蒂的电影具有很强的相关性,因为它解决了紧迫的当代问题。

This essay discusses Dino Buzzati’s Il grande ritratto (Larger than Life) in the theoretical coordinates provided by ecocritical reflections on science fiction. Examining the science fictional dimension of Il grande ritratto is useful both to underline the close ties the author had with the genre from a historical perspective, and to highlight the possibilities presented by science fiction in terms of the representation of technological innovations and the environment. By analyzing the nature-technology hybrid in Il grande ritratto, the essay highlights how Buzzati’s notion of the agency of matter betrays an ecophobic attitude (which is to say, a fear of the agency of nature) that is intertwined with a similar fear of female agency, due to the identification of the landscape with a female artificial intelligence.
