Jesus Loves the Fools

This documentary delves into the transformation of the Milanese music landscape following the decline of prominent groups from the 1970s. It captures the shift in musical preference away from mainstream Sanremo songs towards more diverse and underground sounds. The film focuses on the establishment of the Vox Pop record label, which sought to promote this new wave of music.

One of the key elements in the narrative is the band Carnival of Fools, featuring Mauro Ermanno Giovanardi, who was already a notable figure in the underground scene. Their early recording, "Blues get off my shoulder," marks a significant moment in this cultural shift. The documentary not only showcases the music but also contextualizes the socio-cultural factors that contributed to this vibrant and evolving music scene in Italy during the 80s.
