Je so' Pazzo (3 screenings) Hall 1

Je so’ Pazzo, directed by Nicola Prosatore, is an emotional and profound portrait of Pino Daniele (Massimiliano Caiazzo), a rebellious soul born in the narrow streets of Naples, who revolutionized the Italian music scene by masterfully blending blues, jazz, and Neapolitan tradition.
The film retraces his extraordinary rise to fame, beginning with the difficult years of his childhood, marked by an abandonment that deeply affected him, and culminating in the legendary 1981 concert, where he performed in front of more than 200,000 people. His music becomes a reflection of a complex life, shaped by family conflicts, emotional vulnerabilities, and intense love affairs that accompany him throughout his journey. Through his songs, he discovers a powerful language to express what he cannot put into words, a form of communication that becomes his only true means of expression.
However, success, while bringing his genius to light, also comes with its own challenges: his strained relationship with his father, the weight of expectations, and the fear of repeating the mistakes that have shaped his life.
Through an ongoing interplay of personal reflections and inner struggles, Pino seeks to reconcile with the love of a city that, despite its turmoil, has never stopped waiting for him or loving him. The film is an intimate journey into the life of an artist who captured the soul of Naples and its universal beauty, while always remaining suspended between success and his own human vulnerabilities.
