A Goofy movie Mezzapesa. (Italy 2008)
"My name is Pinuccio Lovero,
forty years and I finally do the caretaker at the cemetery"
forty years and I finally do the caretaker at the cemetery"
What is the dream of Pinuccio Lovero? Be appointed as guardian of the cemetery Bitonto. Wear the uniform of an ordinance, with hat and red tie. It 's a dream that grows as a child and in the summer of 2007, finally was hired to replace the caretaker for three months in disease. But will settle for what fraction of Mariotto, who besides being smaller, has another defect, since he was hired Pinuccio Lovero dies anymore. It seems that the inhabitants of the village of campaign have decided to make a scorned Pinuccio that always want to wear the uniform of the cemetery caretaker, and a kind of spell, do not die anymore. The graveyard is now cleaner and cared for, Pinuccio are passionately dedicated to polish stones and make flowers grow, proud and confident to expect in the doorway, but nothing, now no longer die to Mariotto. It starts to spread the word that Pinuccio "good luck", the people are happy, and only the manufacturers of coffins and florists would like to see him dead or at least moved!
Mezzapesa Goofy, young and ambitious director of Puglia, has transferred the story of making a documentary on the screen Pinuccio which has the merit of telling the stories of real Pinuccio without lapsing into caricature tones. The risk in this sense, even in the light of other examples of cinema setting Puglia, was high.
Pinuccio, physical, dry eyes and wonder mobile, versatile person with a thousand passions, interests, is able to continuously displace the viewer, telling his quirky view of life and love, memories and dreams for the future. Transmits the mystery and fascination of death, and does so with the simplicity of real people, with his arguments in front of the camera, bringing into play its sensitivity and its history with a generosity movingly. The film moves from the close Pinuccio southern province to the universality of a theme that has always enchanted mankind and to which everyone is called to give his answer.
