GUIDO HARARI: PORTRAITS OF THE ROCK STARS

Anyone who can think of an iconic image of Lou Reed or David Bowie, of Frank Zappa or Kate Bush, or of Italians Giorgio Gaber, Fabrizio de André, Vasco Rossi, and Gianna Nannini is most likely thinking of a Guido Harari photograph. Recounting through his portraits, the extraordinary musical revolution of the late twentieth century, from the pop music of the 1960s to the beat generation, from the singer-songwriter season to international rock, from punk to the pop of the 1980s, passing through the various avant-garde experiences, expanding into all expressions of culture even beyond music, is the living matter of this documentary. Starting from his home in Alba, the narrative thread weaves the photographer's life into an intimate relationship with the characters he photographed. Guido Harari's journey is the track around which anecdotes, unpublished images, and unexpected dramaturgical cues develop, linked by the passionate human adventure of a young man who, beginning as a simple fan chasing the tours of his musical legends, later became the interpreter, as his friend Lou Reed said, of the "sound of the soul of those being portrayed."
