Singer, actress, writer, and provocateur by instinct rather than choice, Laura Betti blazed through the incomparable years of the second half of the twentieth century like an untamed force who refused to stay in her place. High priestess of the cult of Pasolini, intense performer, and possessor of a softly rasping voice that sang of existential torments, she was simply too much, too alive, too intelligent and too angry to wear the cloak of good manners. She possessed the candour of a child and the ferocity of one determined not to be deceived. An untameable shrew towards everyone, sometimes even towards herself, she was a woman who never learned how to protect herself from life. As a consequence, she lived it with a desperate, animal vitality. Guided by the words of writer Emanuele Trevi, the documentary shatters the stereotype that reduces Laura Betti to a mere custodian of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s memory and restores her total artistic and intellectual autonomy. Through previously unseen archival footage and interviews with notable figures, the film reconstructs her multifaceted talent, her life and her extraordinary success, celebrating not only the artist but also her remarkable cultural and civic commitment.
