"Allegro Non Troppo" is an Italian animated film directed by Bruno Bozzetto. The movie consists of six vignettes set to classical music pieces, similar to Disney's "Fantasia." However, it takes a more satirical and ironic stance towards its subject matter.
The film opens with an intro where an elderly animator, played by Bruno Bozzetto himself, struggles to control the orchestra and bring his sketches to life. This humorous scene sets the tone for the film.
The first vignette is called "Bolero" and features a group of prehistoric creatures who evolve into modern ones, symbolizing the progress of humanity. However, their evolution leads them to a destructive path, ultimately resulting in their extinction.
The second segment, "Valse Triste," tells the story of a cat who lives with an old woman who treats him poorly. The cat dreams of a better life but is ultimately forced to accept his reality.
In "Firebird," the third segment, a construction worker is mesmerized by a mysterious firebird that emerges from a group of wrecked cars. The firebird represents freedom and fulfillment, contrasting the mundane and monotonous life the worker leads.
The fourth vignette, "Slavonic March," portrays a group of stubborn and idle workers who refuse to clean up a garbage-filled city until a massive piano falls from the sky and disrupts their lives. The chaos caused by the piano compels them to take action and clean up the city.
Next, in "Rhapsody in Blue," the film humorously portrays the monotony of urban life. It follows the daily routine of a man who works in an office. The segment highlights society's mechanical behavior and its lack of authentic human connection.
Finally, in "Intermezzo," the film focuses on the concept of escapism and imagination. It tells the story of a airplane pilot who daydreams about a luscious island paradise during a long and monotonous flight.
Throughout the film, there are periodic interruptions by the orchestra and a grumpy conductor, adding an element of self-awareness and humor to the proceedings.
Overall, "Allegro Non Troppo" uses its satirical and ironic approach to challenge the notion of progress in Western society and offers a more somber view of humanity's actions and their consequences.
