Pompei. Sin City is a journey back in time, to two thousand years ago, laying bare the myths and characters that helped make this site extraordinary, and rendered it timeless.

Narrator Isabella Rossellini explores the once magnificent and mysterious Roman city, Pompeii, one of antiquity's most evocative archaeological sites. This improbably preserved city
from the past has extended its influence throughout history and influenced culture and art, from
Neoclassicism to Contemporary Art. We are introduced to the words and images of all the great artists that have visited: from Pliny to Picasso, from Emily Dickinson to Jean Cocteau.

The documentary looks at much more than just the eruption, exploring what the city itself was actually like: how its citizens lived their lives, spent their free time, and experienced pleasure,
passion, religion and their fate. From the cult Bacchus and Ariadne to bloody gladiatorial combat, the filmmakers analyse the most mysterious secret of the legendary city. In my experience, no place has been more suggestive and awakened an interest in antiquity
like Pompeii.
- Paolo Rotondo

“Pompeii: Sin City is a testament to the Italian ideals of preservation and respect for antiquity.”
