Slavonic Dance num 7 (Allegro non troppo)
Bruno Bozzetto (1976)
Sinopsi
A lonely man is always being copied for the rest. Despite that, he always tries to be more original than them. The revenge that he plans makes visible the human capacity to repeat attitudes without any criticism. Slavonic dance number 7 is one of the six parts that the full film “Allegro non Troppo” is divided. A parody of Walt Disney Fantasia with animated versions of classic music pieces.
