Je so’ pazzo

Directed by Nicola Prosatore

Je so’ pazzo is an intense portrait of Pino Daniele—a rebellious soul born in the alleys of Naples who revolutionized Italian music by blending blues, jazz, and Neapolitan tradition. The film chronicles his rise, from a childhood marked by abandonment to his legendary 1981 concert before a crowd of 200,000. Amidst family conflicts, personal vulnerabilities, and deep loves, Pino finds a musical language to express what words cannot. Yet success brings new challenges: an unresolved relationship with his father, the burden of expectations, and the risk of repeating past mistakes. It is not merely the story of an extraordinary musician, but that of a man grappling with himself, seeking reconciliation with his roots and the love of a city that never stopped waiting for him.
