Overview
Mario Merola's art was multimedia: song, theatre, cinema. But it is above all to the drama that he linked his fame and greatness: a theater of the poor, a popular art that Merola approached with total adhesion and authority. Only in the Seventies did intellectuals like Goffredo Fofi (interviewed here together with many others: from Nino D'Angelo to Maurizio de Giovanni, from Marisa Laurito to Valerio Caprara) notice him: but not to carry out a camp revaluation exercise, from above. Because to understand Merola, its roots in a secular culture and society, it is necessary to enter its world. This is what Ferrari's biographical documentary does, while also giving space to unpredictable operations such as Marcello Garofalo's Westmoreland Naples, in which Merola faced the world of Jean Vigo, Fassbinder and Allen Ginsberg: as always, with extraordinary credibility and humility.
