A young Italian boy, Cosimo Messeri, having stumbled almost by chance in a vintage vinyl, falls in love with music by Emitt Rhodes. Who is it? One would wonder. Lawful demand to which the answers to the great documentary.
is a musician from California, with the ball in British pop, which took its first steps as a leader of the Merry-Go-Round, and later became a successful solo completely disappeared from circulation in '75. A mysterious disappearance at least, his was a talent of iron, the music is the mission of a life.
All this has helped to blur the legendary image of a man whose voice quality was almost identical to that of McCartney, even leading some to swear that the music of Rhodes were nothing more than extra material of the work of four cockroaches in Liverpool. A legend that preceded his music, now many thought had never existed. But his talent was crystal clear. Angelic voice and a versatility of multi-instrumentalist, he played every instrument recorded in pieces, hence the title (perhaps a little 'wink) documentary.
The documentary presented at the Festival is a work of an hour that will astound you the ability to tell the humanity of a character so unique, moving between familiarity with unconventional tones and looks more intimate. Among the intangible mystery of his disappearance from the scene and rarefied the look of a bear now harmless. The unfolding of "The One man Beatles" will follow the curious existence of Emitt, giving it a mature prophet karma music he seems to have touched throughout his life, without ever managing to hold it between your fingers holding it tight.
The images shot by a young filmmaker, including interviews with 'friends' of past and present of the artist and exceptional pills Rhodes today, viscerally will merge with the tracks of the singer and the film footage, a gem about the performance of the show Sir David Frost. One way that recalls both the joke, with the proper proportions, by James Mash, "Man on wire", two men, Philippe Petit and Emitt Rhodes, who lived mainly against the system, on the edge of a social life never really accepted by them ethereal souls.
"The One man Beatles" is a relaxed tribute to the music, the purism of an extremist who has enjoyed the fame without getting caught. The final mockumentary could easily be summed up in one sentence of Chekhov: "I take with him ... Our time is running out, we are no longer young. That at least the end of life does not need to hide or lie ... I have fifty-five, is a little late to change my life, "or maybe not?
