Allegro Non Troppo

Director: Bruno Bozzetto

1976 / 75min / DCP

Imitation is the sincerest form of parody in Bozzetto’s silly symphony send-up of Fantasia, comprised of six segments scored to tunes by Debussy, Dvorak, Ravel, Sibelius, Stravinsky, and Vivaldi. Witness a new civilization spring into being from the residue in a soda pop bottle left behind by space travelers, an aging satyr struggle to recapture the vitality of his distant youth, a telling of the Adam and Eve story that’s miles away from anything ever taught in Sunday school, and many other churlish and cheeky delights besides in this, the best-known work from a maestro of animated anarchy, newly restored and celebrating its 50th anniversary.
