Synopsis
The documentary unveils the restless life of PietroVivarelli and his kaleidoscopic filmography. He was director of Italian B-Movies of all genres, lyricist of musical successes, including 24,000 Baci of Adriano Celentano, and screenwriter of Spaghetti Western such as DJANGO, loved by Quentin Tarantino. A very young member of the Tenth MAS, he was the only non-Cuban, besides Che Guevara, to have a Cuban Communist Party card signed by Fidel Castro. Starting from the 60s he became a revolutionary provocateur in the panorama of Italian cinema. Spacing from HOWLERS OF THE DOCK, musical film with Celentano, Chet Baker and Mina on the youth world that begins to move at rock rhythm, to current political films such as EAST ZONE, WEST ZONE, or DJANGO, which anticipates the style of Spaghetti Western destined to become a template,Vivarelli rides the wave of the new. He gives body to comics with SATANIK and MISTER X and stages the sexual revolution with THE GOD SNAKE. Through a creative narrative, the documentary explores in depth a neglected territory of Italian and world pop culture and, at the same time, delves into a life that is itself a genre film, a "Vivarelli-style" film: exaggerated, ironic, sensual, full of vitality, music, and lots of action.
