About Pirata! Cult Movie
In a hypothetical future not too far away people are completely dazed and spend their days passively watching TV. The state is controlled by a dictator, the Supreme Dreamer, who governs through the brutal force of the police, whose agents have a very elegant yellow and black latex outfit. The only entertainment of the people is to watch the dictator's dreams on TV, which are aired through a hat. One day the protagonist, an anarchist rebel with fake mustache, steals the dictator's hat. At that point begins his escape during which he will meet some very special characters.
Directed by Paolo Ricagno, Pirata! Cult Movie leans on a strong ensemble — Luisella Ciaffi, Paolo Ricagno, Ugo Gregoretti — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1984.
