Experience the untold story of Italian singer Lucio Dalla. Mixing biography and history, reality and imagination, the film uses music, lyrics, and never-before-seen archival footage to illustrate an underground and nuanced Italy, narrating the country’s past through tragic events and an economic boom. This is the Italy of the underdogs and the marginalized: Dalla’s Italy.

70

The New York Times by A.O. Scott

This isn’t “Lucio for Beginners” by any means. Nor is it a greatest-hits anthology or a “behind the music” tell-all. It’s a tribute and an invitation to further research.

67

The Playlist by Christian Gallichio

Even with the notable gaps in Dalla’s story and slight storytelling, For Lucio works as a professional, if not precisely personal, introduction to the renowned musician, showcasing how his songs reflected a country that was grappling with class struggles and an identity crisis during the 1970s.

75

The Film Stage by Ed Frankl

The archival footage gives a time capsule—not just of the sound and styles of the ’60s and ’70s, but a whole society dragged out of Italy’s countryside and into the rapidly industrialized cities.
