Rome, October 16 (askanews) – At the Rome Film Fest, it's Jovanotti's day, starring in the film "Lorenzo – L'incredibile avventura di Jovanotti," directed by Dario Zonta and Carlo Zoratti, presented as a Special Screening and in theaters from November 26 to December 2 as a special event (distributed by Plaion Pictures). A seven-year process, during which the directors themselves, getting closer to Jovanotti through concerts, backstage sessions, private moments, and recovered Super 8 films, admitted they didn't know where they would end up or whether they would ever finish the film.
And he entrusted himself completely to them. "I said: I am the giraffe in the savannah, you are David Attenborough, the giraffe doesn't know he's participating in the film but he's the subject; I told him I didn't want control, otherwise it would become something else, the usual me thing, where I'm in control..." "I knew nothing about this film, not even that these Super 8s of my dad's had been found. When I saw it, it was a shock, a powerful and unexpected wave hit me." An intimate story that also moved Lorenzo: "Ever since I saw the film, and it also coincided with my 60th birthday, I've felt the end looming; it's a beautiful thing, the end of a world, of that Jovanotti there.
But I'm curious to know what I'll come up with now." The film moved him with the way it portrays him. "This child who is still deep inside me is very alive, it almost embarrasses me because sometimes I feel like I'm becoming more and more like him. With time passing, after years of wanting to be an adult, today I've begun a regression to a state of childhood with an adult body, and this intrigues me greatly, and the film portrays it."
