In cinemas The music of silence, Michael Radford's film on Andrea Bocelli

La musica del silenzioFrom today to Wednesday 20 in cinemas The Music of Silence by Michael Radford. The director of Il Postino with Massimo Troisi this time directs Andrea Boccelli's biopic, freely inspired by Andrea Bocelli's novel "The Music of Silence".

Synopsis

Everyone knows his voice, his songs, the interpretations of famous lyric tunes, his international popularity. However, it is less well known Andrea Bocelli's private life and the path that led him from Lajatico, the country of the Tuscan countryside, to the laurels of his current career.

Amos Bardi (the alter ego of the singer) is born with the gift of a voice that is of great value since childhood, but at the same time has a serious eye problem that makes him almost blind. He sees light and shade effects, contours, no more. The disease forces him to an ordeal of surgery. He must soon be separated from the family to enter a blind and braille school. But it is precisely where a terrible accident happens to him, a blow with a ball in his face that leads him to total blindness. It's dark. Despite all this Amos does not give up. Moved by great aspirations and interests (passion for singing, love for horses, scooter, bicycle, a law degree), his life will be a challenge without stopping until he reaches his first great success with Miserere.

From then on, there begins an existence full of victories in which, however, to be like the others, in every gesture, at every step, he must engage more than others.
