Alfredo Bini, ospite inatteso

Montalto di Castro, 2001. An elderly man appears in front of the Motel Magic run by Giuseppe Simonelli. His name is Alfredo Bini, a famous movie producer, best known for his long and intense collaboration with Pier Paolo Pasolini, overseeing his directorial debut in 1960 with Accattone and all his movies up to Edipo re in 1967. The man is going through a period of economic difficulty and finds himself temporarily homeless. Giuseppe decides to put Bini up, and before long a very special relationship is born, like that of a father and a son. Testimony and archive material are thus used to tell the story of a life lived for the cinema, from the successes of the 70s to the crisis of recent years. (Venice International Film Festival)
