Italian Contest – Feature Film
Brief Synopsis:
The documentary analyzes the Cabaret phenomenon from its Parisian origins to the present time directly from the accounts of its protagonists. A historical/artistic excursus that will show us how Cabaret has a cyclical and episodic pattern. To do this, the documentary analyzes the very concept of laughter of which the comedian represents but a part. We will show the great difference that passes between laughter used as a tool and laughter used as a purpose, highlighting the differences between Cabaret and Variety, that is, between those who make people laugh to tell and those who tell to make people laugh.
Director’s Notes:
I personally believe that one of the best ways to tell a story is to espouse its spirit. To describe an artistic “genre,” and even more so to try to explain it, one must start with an inevitable and rigorous study of the subject that allows one to fully understand the subject, make it one’s own and if possible, tell it through its language. That is why I wanted to narrate Cabaret through some of its ingredients, among all of them in particular: surprise, originality and poetry.
