"A futurist cannon shot ripping through the last New Year of the 20th century. A secular binge. 'Canzoni a manovella' is one of those works that manages to capture the moment and crystallise it forever. The moment in which, like a dying man, the 20th century rewinds the entire tape of its film before the curtain falls, taking away its sampler of characters, eras, inventions, traditions and cultural styles. And, behind the scenes, he, the diver-Capossela, immersed in his diving suit to wind the crank of this time machine that blurs past and future in a 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' epic. Paradoxical, for someone who only wanted to be a 'confidential singer', a piano-bar crooner, as was, after all, the emigrant Vinicio who drove around in a Volkswagen van and performed in Emilian clubs in the late 1980s. But how was it possible that the intimist singer of 'An Unpretentious Day' could, all of a sudden, stand up as the director of this spectacular and hypertrophic turn-of-the-century colossal?"
