La moda proibita (Roberto Capucci e il futuro dell'Alta Moda)

A fresh and intense look at the work of Capucci and his incredible art. Amazing.

The cross-section of an Italian artist not only of an italian stylist. I found myself in the words of Capucci when he says that for a woman the real beauty is not in the surgical or photoshop retouching. After the vision of the film, I recalled a dream I had months before, where I refused the clothes of a singer and of a scientist in order to reach my own style, my beauty and my identity.

Roberto Capucci deserved this cinematographic portrait that describes him as one of the greatest couturiers of our time and above all as an artist and a true "silk sculptor". Ottavio Rosati's film joins those who in recent years have been dedicated to Dior, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Versace and Lagerfeld. I was moved by the fact that the realization of the DVD that will bring the film directed by Ottavio Rosati around the world (and not only in the gay high culture) is thanks to Jean Vigo Italia and above all by the Istituto Luce Cinecittà. A century ago the Istituto Luce was born by the will of Benito Mussolini. Would he ever have imagined the Duce that one day his film institute would honor a genius, a lover of Caravaggio and Michelangelo, a pacifist and defender not of the power of the Italian nation but of nature and beauty?

This movie is an artistic docufilm about an artwork that many Italians artists and tailors should watch. Rosati and Capucci link fashion and images to the inner world. I don't know another couturier who creates drawings from his unconscious psyche for the eternity and not for shops.

FOR CAPUCCI AND ROSATI by Maria Cristina Sidoni (Torino - Italy) This journey into the world linked to Capucci, a great in fashion, is certainly enriching. The moral stature of this man is truly singular and an example for the beautiful linear authenticity of him. I also emphasize the specialty of making a journey together with the director Rosati, not merely as an introducer and capable companion of the stylist, but as a companion who shares himself along the way. In short, the documentary is about the genius Capucci and, at the same time, remains characterized by the vivacity of Rosati. I found her rigor, her kindness and that special stardust that shines at times in a playfully irreverent way, almost as if to imply that behind the curtain there are many veils that sway and reflect the lights of the heart and of the imagination, lights that make sense of our intelligence. Thanks for this work of art - Maria Cristina Sidoni.
