Sinopse
Great, mysterious and unequalled “cinema lover”, Piero Tortolina has been a reference point, a guru for a generation of cinemagoers. Pioneer cinema–clubber and film collector with a bad guy face like the actors he loved, Tortolina remains almost unknown to most of the people even though he has been a prominent figure for Italian cinema. His history is somehow the history of cinema – not only Italian cinema – seen through the look of a cinéphile. Maybe the last real cinéphile, lived when cinema was great, like the passions it inspired.
