CGiii Comment
The documentary tells the decisive moments, the turning points and the roller coaster of a brilliant, eventful international career and the daring existence of a great Italian artist. From his origins as NN's son to the conquest of great international fame as a director, art director, painter, creator of cinema, theater and opera. Through original and period interviews with some of the most acclaimed stars who have known, admired and loved him and with family, friends and closest collaborators, this engaging story does justice to the person and to the artist - not only the master in all its multiform and even opposing facets. The composite character of him is manifested in his vast artistic production, but also in his political choices, in his spirituality and in his love of mystery, in his friendships and in his legendary controversies with critical opponents. This clash offers a well-rounded portrait, with continuous ups and downs, of an artist who has promoted and honored the highest and most popular Italian culture in the great world capitals for many decades.
