Bravo Bene!

The documentary chronicles the challenges faced during the production of a film about Carmelo Bene, detailing the abrupt halt caused by on-set accidents and the frustrations of producer Andrea Occhipinti. With filming stalled, director Franco Maresco disappears, prompting his friend Umberto Cantone to gather insights from witnesses involved in the project.

Through these testimonies, the film delves into the life and ideas of Carmelo Bene, often described as a corrosive and apocalyptic figure in Italian cinema. This documentary not only offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes struggles of filmmaking but also serves as a retrospective on Bene's significant impact on the film industry.
