This portrait of a revolutionary provoker links the restless life and kaleidoscopic filmography of Piero Vivarell, director of Italian B-movies of all kinds, lyricist of successful songs such as Celentano’s24.000 baci, and screenwriter of the spaghetti-westernDjango, which was so popular with Quentin Tarantino. Apart from Che Guevara, he was the only foreigner to have a membership card of the Cuban Communist Party signed by Fidel Castro.Going fromUrlatori alla sbarra(Howlers of the Dock), a musical film with Celentano, Chet Baker and Mina about the world of the younger generation that was beginning to move to the rhythm of rock, to films about current political topics likeOggi a Berlino(East Zone, West Zone), andDjangothat anticipated a spaghetti-western style that was destined to become very popular, Vivarelli rode the wave of the moment. He adapted cartoons such asSatanikandMister X(Avenger X) and portrayed the sexual revolution withIl dio serpente(The Snake God).With its creative narration the documentary looks closely at a neglected area of Italian and international pop culture whilst at the same time studying a life that is itself a genre film a film ‘à la Vivarelli’: exaggerated, ironic, sensual, full of life, music and action.
