What would the “Capoccione” (a nickname given to Elio by Marcello and Ruggero Mastroianni and which roughly translates “the brain”) have said about this or that? Only when this project was nearing completion did I remember what he had said about documentaries in an interview: that he didn’t like them at all. Maybe this is why he never wanted to show me those that he had made when he was young. So every time the problems with this project would accumulate and overwhelm me, I would think that maybe it was Elio telling me that this documentary shouldn’t be done. And yet...
