Paolo Conte, It’s Wonderful
Documentary about the Italian singer, piano player, composer, and lyricist Paolo Conte.
Paolo Conte has been compared to Tom Waits and Randy Newman and is one of the greatest singers in the province of the world – to quote the lyrics from his song LA PROVINCIA DEL MONDO. The documentary forms an ideal itinerary with Luca Zingaretti as narrator, telling the story of an eclectic, mysterious character. Director Verdelli has drawn on Conte’s immensely rich personal archive and combined this with interviews, filmed footage of international tours and special moments making up a unique career. There is also an extraordinary collection of individual stories and recollections from Roberto Benigni, Pupi Avati, Isabella Rossellini, Jane Birkin, and Patrice Leconte.
