Event Navigation
Born in Milano in 1938, Bruno Bozzetto is widely regarded as Italy’s leading animator. In 1958 he had significant success with “Tapum! La storia delle armi” and soon after established his company Bruno Bozzetto Film. In 1960, with “Un Oscar per il Signor Rossi”, he gave birth to the distinctive little man with the red hat who would become the Bozzetto trademark and which is nowadays among the animation classics. In 1976, together with actor and animator Maurizio Nichetti, Bruno Bozzetto made “Allegro Non Troppo”, which mixed live action and animation to illustrate six pieces of classical music including Maurice Ravel’s “Bolero”, Jean Sibelius’s “Valse Triste” and Antonio Vivaldi’s “Concerto in C Major”. The film can be considered a parody of Walt Disney’s “Fantasia”, but unlike the Disney classic, “Allegro Non Troppo” does not attempt to visualize the music in the drawings, but develops its own themes, using the music as a deluxe accompaniment. Bruno Bozzetto has been awarded many prizes, among them the Golden Bear for “Mister Tao” at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1990 and the Oscar nomination for “Grasshoppers” in 1991 as well as the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Animafest Zagreb in 1998. His humour is rooted in American comedy, but with a soft rhythm and a great taste for surrealism merged with ethical themes and a lucid pessimism for the human race. Each of his films is characterized by Bruno Bozzetto’s unique sense for combining rhythms and colours with action, comic timing and original fantasy. In our In Persona series, we have dedicated three programmes to Bruno Bozzetto with films by, with and about the Italian master of animation: the short-film programme “Signor Rossi e molto più”, the feature film classic “Allegro Non Troppo”, and the documentary film “Bozzetto Non Troppo” about the life and work of Bruno Bozzetto.
