Following Bruno Bozzetto’s poetic style, filled with the objects of affection and the characters of his artistic imagination, Marco Bonfanti realizes a fascinating meditation on artistic creation. Bozzetto non troppo (“Bozzetto-not-too-much”) is a witty quip that creates a short circuit of the spirit, that recalls childhood without idealizing it, that goes back to childhood in a mature conquest. Because for Bruno Bozzetto the age of innocence, the age of his grandchildren, awaited outside the school and entrusted to the wings of a swing, is a primordial arc, a magical interval where rationality does not interfere with creation. Creation that becomes a moment of bright unpredictability. Bonfanti catches the sign of childhood and makes Bozzetto’s art visible, developing a dialectic portrait, as amused and obedient as Mr. Rossi, as dry and biting as the graphic sign that has carved the heart of his audience. A cartoonist of wonders, Bozzetto talks about himself with lightness and irony, blindly 'drawing himself' as a grand garçon that has never forgotten the dawdling of childhood.
