Totti's heart really makes everyone cry: it is inevitable seeing the documentary MI CALLED FRANCESCO TOTTI by Alex Infascelli passed today at the 15th edition of the Rome Festival and which saw the forfeit of 'the captain' who missed the highly anticipated 'close encounter' with Pierfrancesco Favino for the grief that struck him.
The decision not to come, after the recent death of his father, Enzo 'the sheriff' is for many the gesture of a good, generous and strong man who believes in family.
"His decision not to come - Infascelli confirmed today at a press conference - is true can be considered the last chapter of my documentary. I believe that Totti made this choice so that in the end only the film would speak for him and also to have the right time to think about something so intimate that it just happened to him. "
From the sample only a long Instagram on October 14 dedicated to his father in which he says: "Without you I would never have made it.
Sorry for the unspoken words ...".
And again: "Hi dad, I spent the worst 10 days of my life, knowing that you were there" alone "fighting against evil and not being able to see, speak, hug you, hold you, I would have done anything to be there to you".
MY NAME IS FRANCESCO TOTTI - taken from the book Un Capitano written by Francesco Totti with Paolo Condò (published by Rizzoli) and in the hall with Vision on October 19-20-21 and then from November 16 on Sky - is a singular film that starts with a super eight of the Totti family that opens with an image of his father Enzo at the sea with his wife Fiorella and with a Francesco who just walks, but who is already raging with a ball bigger than him.
We then move on to the night that precedes his farewell to football and from here, step by step, he retraces his entire life as if the champion were seeing her projected on a screen together with the spectators.
All images and emotions that he comments only in voice, always off screen, between irony and bitterness.
