Our take
After his magisterial fiction debut Martin Eden, Pietro Marcello returns to the documentary format with this colorful portrait of singer Lucio Dalla. A love letter to the Bolognese icon, the film also looks at class struggle in a changing Italy, where politics and poetry often go hand in hand.
