Movie

Allegro non troppo

1976 · 85 min

A playful, surreal patchwork of music-driven cartoons stitched together by deadpan backstage comedy, by turns silly, tender and quietly sad.

Overview: An enterprising producer believes he has hit upon a winning concept: a program of original animated shorts set to classical music. Undeterred by warnings that this has already been done by an American named 'Prisney,' he rallies an orchestra of geriatric women, a bullish conductor, and an animator that he keeps locked in the dungeon. What could go wrong?
How it feels: Whimsical, absurd, satirical and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Art, music, identity, survival
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
