(ANSAmed) - ROMA, 27 DIC - A three-part documentary on late
Italian showbiz icon Raffaella Carrà landed on Disney+ on
Wednesday.
The docu maker, Italian film director Daniele Lucchetti,
described it as a "little blockbuster, dedicated to one of our
freest icons".
Lucchetti, best known for The Yes Man, My Brother Is an Only
Child, and 'La nostra vita', said that "entering Carrà's world
gt e closer to a volcano, a wellspring of intense heat, which is
not understandable only by studying culture but by putting
together a combination of genetic data, talent, and need. You
find yourself in front of a phenomenon".
Carrà, who died on 5 July, 2021 at the age of 78, has already
been the subject of a hit pop opera musical, Raffa in the Sky,
spanning musical genres from Carra' 's sexy hit Tuca tuca to
Swan Lake to another iconic hit, Furore, in a mise-en-scene
halfway between science fiction and baroque opera.
The singer, actress, dancer and TV host starred with Frank
Sinatra in Von Ryan's Express in 1965 and found cult TV success
in Spain and other countries, becoming a gay icon.
Carra' is also credited with boosting the sexual revolution in
Catholic Italy with cheeky songs celebrating touching (Tuca
tuca, 1971) and getting women to take the initiative in
lovemaking (A fare l'amore comincia tu, 1976), and was slammed
by the Vatican for showing her belly button on live TV in 1970.
