Synopsis:

Everything begins with Stanley Kubrick’s words to Mario Maldesi, the Italian dubbing director of Full Metal Jacket: “If you don’t have a good actor, everything sounds fake.” But what is dubbing, and what does it mean to dub a film? The Voice Without a Face explores this uniquely Italian art, which has shaped our cinema, inspired our greatest directors, and influenced our culture. From the Accademia della Crusca to the Zeffirelli Foundation, the University for Foreigners of Perugia, and the Cineteca of Bologna, this journey reveals how dubbing has become a defining part of our way of life.
