The Film - What they’re saying about ...the documentary explores, in gripping, cinema vérité
fashion, the sometimes-Odyssean, sometimes-whimsical process in which
Tronco scoured the area to gather the multinational, multi-ethnic players
of L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio.” (...) “An international
cast takes music beyond boundaries” A wonderful film. It’s Rome’s new identity card for the
world. It deserves an Oscar. In fifteen years at the Nuovo Sacher cinema, I have never seen people
so happy when leaving the theater. Give an Oscar to “L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio”, because
it’s an extraordinary film. And much more. It’s not your usual, rhetorical, politically correct portrait
of a utopia of integration, but true cinema… I fell in love with the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio. One of the
happiest films of the year. "L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio" is one of the best films
to come out in the past months. Make the orchestra, not war. My amorous participation in this film was immense. Fellini’s prophecy fulfilled. A wonderful film. Watch it and you’ll want to nominate Mario
Tronco for a Nobel Prize. A very clear Rosellinian lesson. A film that everyone should see.
Spread the word with enthusiasm. Moving, funny, stirring, it makes you
think... Different from other films, it narrates the great, small victory
of a singular initiative over the sluggish and inevitably slow-moving
inertia of public institutions with irony and humor. A film that narrates
with musically wise phrasing fun, challenges, surprises, continuous excitement
… flavors, and the richness of a unique utopia that seems too good
to be true. A true adventure. A great, little film. An example for all. A small, exhilarating utopia. An extraordinary mixture of true stories.
A marvelous metaphor on cohabitation upon which politicians and governments
should meditate before promoting further wars. Fascinating, funny, important. An anecdote for depression. I left the cinema moved and with nurtured and reinforced passion.
- It’s as good as Buena Vista Social Club but better because it’s
closer to home. A great film, sweetly ironic, gripping, light, and profound all at
the same time. Every once in a while you have to take your hat off to a message
that in its own small way has historical value and offers a view on how
to face the uncertain future of cohabitation without concealing obstacles
and contradictions. A must-see. There isn’t one main character, there is a variety of important
actors: there are many stories. So far, so close. There’s a rare category of documentaries that doesn’t
stop at recounting a reality but actually invents one from zero. Ferrente
fully grasps the utopia of a happy diversity, a blend without trauma,
writing a minimal and transitory tale that echoes a much larger truth
that includes all of us. The Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio is a Polaroid
of a world that, whether you like it or not, is breaking down ancient
frontiers, of an Italy that is welcoming new customs and musical traditions,
of a film industry that is changing its rules conjugating video and super8,
painting a brighter reality with fable-like far eastern tones, collecting
on one screen styles as various as the colors of the world. A great film; the idea of a piazza and a cinema as a symbol of hope. “Il film è bellissimo... it tells the story with humor and sensitivity… an unforgettable journey within a symphony of culture and experience" An extraordinary idea becomes a reality. |
