The movie is a biopic about Mia Martini, an italian singer who died in 1995.
A respectful and emotionally resonant Italian biopic-documentary about the tragic life of beloved singer Mia Martini, covering her rise, the superstition that surrounded her, and her untimely death. The narrative structure is solid but follows conventional biographical documentary tropes. Cinematography is competent with archival footage well integrated. Novelty is moderate — the subject herself is distinctive and underappreciated internationally, giving the film a unique subject, though the approach is fairly standard for the music biopic genre. Acting (in reconstructed scenes) is serviceable but unremarkable. The ending, dealing with her death and posthumous recognition, is poignant but not cinematically surprising.
