(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 12 – QUERIDO FIDEL first work by Viviana Calò is a communist fable in Neapolitan sauce already at Bif & st 2021, where it won the best director and actor award (Gianfelice Imparato), and now in theaters from 18 November.
“The central idea of the film is very simple – says the director -.
What would happen if a man decided to live his daily life, exclusively following his own ideals? The protagonist of my story is none other than a dreamer, a ‘crackpot’, who experiences the eternal conflict between his own ideology, the communist one, and the reality with which he is forced to confront every day “.
We are talking about Emidio (Gianfelice Imparato), a fifty-year-old Neapolitan communist of Cuban faith who writes every month to Fidel and the ‘commander’ regularly replies to him.
“A character not too far from me – he tells ANSA Imparato – who after the Bolognina congress I wrote a monologue in which I hoped for a Europe finally governed by communism, but then I had to witness the slow and shameful slide of the left towards the center “.
In QUERIDO FIDEL, however, we find ourselves in 1991 with a Soviet Union close to dissolution, a destiny shared by Cuba itself. But, despite this, Emidio’s communist faith is more than intact, indeed it is increasingly lively. Backed by his faithful and understanding wife, by old comrades now too revisionist and by a wrong son with an imperialist heart, despite having called him Ernesto (just like Che), our red superhero sees plots everywhere.
Not only on his part also the desire for small urban revolutions as if who knows what changes might depend on these.
