Trivia
One of the strengths of La Moda Proibita is the animation of the imaginary characters designed by Capucci who (thanks to the computer animation of the young editor Filippo Orrù) fly like goblins, between the frames. The characters follow the movements of the eyes of Capucci who, during the interviews, roamed in the environment detaching from those of his interlocutors. Naturally, the viewer has the opposite impression: that the couturier is behind his images and ghosts. Which, from the psychoanalytic point of view, is also true.

Quotes
Roberto Capucci: I am 82 years old, I am not a child and I am more enthusiastic now than before because before everything was easy, - now, however, I have to confront this world which is completely different from the time when I started out. Now I have more determination, more desire to get it done, more desire to work.

Crazy credits
During the exhibition "In Search of royalty" at the "Venaria Reale" in Turin, Plays did not get permission to move some clothes in the park to make 3D shots in steady. At that point Fabrizio Capucci, Roberto's brother, made his villa available on the Appia where the foundation brought ten of the Master's most famous creations. The most important was "Oceano" that the managers of the Foundation placed on a sheet of plating with a thousand cautions to prevent the silk from getting wet. After the sequence started, a white bunny jumped out of the dress, peeing just a few centimeters away from Oceano. Rosati did not interrupt the shooting. In the film, the pet appears together with the title of the film as a metaphor for the courage to do something forbidden. Plays thanks Fabrizio Capucci for his hospitality and the rabbit for his courage.

Welcome Capucci!

Roberto Capucci deserved this cinematographic portrait that describes him as one of the greatest couturiers of our time and above all as an artist and a true "silk sculptor". Ottavio Rosati's film joins those who in recent years have been dedicated to Dior, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Versace and Lagerfeld. I was moved by the fact that the realization of the DVD that will bring the film directed by Ottavio Rosati around the world (and not only in the gay high culture) is thanks to Jean Vigo Italia and above all by the Istituto Luce Cinecittà. A century ago the Istituto Luce was born by the will of Benito Mussolini. Would he ever have imagined the Duce that one day his film institute would honor a genius, a lover of Caravaggio and Michelangelo, a pacifist and defender not of the power of the Italian nation but of nature and beauty?
