“I was Lodo, with the musical group, the reeds, the dreams that break,” says Federico Zampaglione, in his fourth film. Morrison, from Thursday for Vision with the aim of reaching up to 200 copies, is the first major Italian film (with The bad poet), which comes out in theaters. The leader of the Tiromancino (on the tee-shirt the face of Mina, “instead of Jimi Hendrix, let’s go celebrate her”) adapts his novel to tell an emotional subject that he attended as a boy. Here is the band indie who performs in the Roman club moored on the Tiber, and the generational confrontation between the young Lodo (Lorenzo Zurzolo) with a suspended gaze, and Libero (Giovanni Calcagno), the seasoned rocker in vertical fall after a successful song, who will also lose his caring wife, Giglia Mara who in life is the director’s companion.
The other female role is Carlotta Antonelli: «She dreams of being an actress and has a healthy selfishness that allows her to be inconsistent. This film, shot in full pandemic without knowing what would happen the next day, took me back in time, reminded me of my teachers, Califano, Pino Daniele, Dalla. When Libero tells Lodo to discharge the energy downwards without looking at the public, it is a piece of advice that Dalla gave me ». From his horror films to a poetic autobiographical tale: «I put the fear of the stage; the uncontrollable energies of a young band; the clubs where they made you play only if you brought people, and they also played to pick up; young musicians who give up: if you get up, there you can see the passion you have. But it’s not a film about music. I also don’t like musical films where success comes in the end. This is a story about finding yourself. More than a cinematic experience I consider it a Tiromancino song ». How are you received in the cinema? “Like a slightly strange son, but I haven’t been mistreated.”
