Feeling Piazzolla

“FEELING PIAZZOLLA” is a documentary film that analyzes the melancholy in Astor Piazzolla’s music (1921-1992), the best known Argentine composer in the world. The film approaches his personality, tying certain episodes in his life with his work. It’s based in four stages of his life, with powerful testimonies of people who were in his most intimate circle, who contribute to answer the enigma presented by his son Daniel: “it was beyond comprehension how that music came from him, considering the personality he had...”. The documentary revolves around the artist’s relationship with his work, and particularly with the feelings it evokes; avoiding being a biographical piece, but a study based on this original perspective that contributes to understand how and why his music depicts Buenos Aires’s melancholy so thoroughly. With years of documentary and journalistic research, FEELING PIAZZOLLA presents barely known material, and submerges the viewer in values, stories and metaphors, that along his beautiful music, offers an approach to Astor, not through a mere biographical experience, but through the deepness of his work, capable of moving the whole world.
