The newly restored film projection for a week at the Small Observatory Garcia

The projection that reopens the programming of the Universal Small Observatory Garcia returns as a new selection of quality films that made it almost a mark of recognition and invitation to good cinema.
Thus, once again in theaters, even in Terlizzi from today until Thursday (screening times 18.30-21), Yuppi Du, a 1975 film, directed, produced, music and starring Adriano Celentano and presented at the 28 th Cannes Film Festival .
In 1976, the film won the Silver Ribbon for best music.

A few weeks ago, the 65 th International Exhibition of the Venice Film Festival, was presented out of competition, accompanied by a press conference without worrying about censorship, as befits a true intellectual, with a restored version, partially reassembled, and changes and processing in both the video and audio portion, now made available to the community Terlizzi, also a great way for those who already have seen the original film, and appreciate the restoration and installation of new additions.

"Who does not love does not work, but who works remains a beggar, so that if your wife is not blindly in love with you before pretending to have committed suicide, leaving only a daughter and a pain that never ends, then crops up suddenly when you married you not to die of loneliness just to tell you that she had gone to Milan to make a good life with a rich guy, then again seems willing to stand with you and your poverty , and then leave at the end even more alone, this time even without her daughter. " So said Joe Cocker in his "Yuppi Du" in 1975, and so repeats after more than thirty years in a film that, in its beautiful restored version presented at the Venice Film Festival, it would seem that decades have passed ridimostrare vain, and that the work of the most humble (workers or employees who are) does not ennoble man, indeed, it approaches the physical death and / or spiritual, as evidenced by the scene (nice-deep-touching) the trap Scognamillo the port Marghera that, while the electricity is gone away, receives the visit of death that announces that a crane to fall for him an enormous chest, killing him almost instantly.
The film supermolleggiato, is still able to surprise with its bizarre charge current reality - paradoxically - is revealed to be a realistic-style, between the surreal and dada, as the title suggests.
In short, although this year's Venice Film Festival of Venice decided to speak of white deaths in two documentaries, "ThyssenKrupp Blues" and "The factory of the Germans", "Yuppi Du" deals with the effectiveness with emotional and complaint for nothing less, indeed, in some ways more powerful, capable of capturing the human aspects as less "visible". It will then be rhetorical and a bit 'easy, but ... compared to what was said at the beginning of article, "Yuppi Du" then always the merit of emphasizing the dignity of work of any kind (loser) it is. So much and so well that this category of workers that the real world (bourgeois?) Treats made of only beggars, ends up being composed of many small overlords existence.
