"The greatest of them all" is showing at the 2012 New Italian Cinema Festival in San Francisco (November 13th, 6:15pm and November 16th, 9:15pm). Italian rock band Pluto was never much good to begin with. Nevertheless, the group means the world to wheelchair-bound filmmaker Ludovico who begs them to reunite for a documentary he wants to make. Ludovico convinces drummer Loris, currently a hapless father at loose ends, to gather up Pluto's far-flung other members for the endeavor even as the band's past issues arise once more. Will singer Mao reconnect with former girlfriend Sabrina? Will the unwilling lead guitar player Rino agree to play? And what are the motivations behind Ludovico's desire to see Pluto onstage again? Director Carlo Virzigrave;, who led a rock band in the '90s and composed the music for the film, knows the territory well and gives the film a raucous but melancholy air. Sono passati quindici anni da quando a Rosignano Solvay, piccolo centro del litorale tirrenico, impazzavano i Pluto, vitaminica rock band conosciuta nel circuito alternativo e con un paio di album all'attivo. Poi la storia e` finita, hanno litigato e il cantante Mao, la bassista Sabrina, il batterista Loris e il chitarrista Rino si sono persi di vista. Un giorno Loris riceve una mail da Ludovico, un giornalista, fan scatenato del gruppo: bisogna fare un documentario sulla band. Nessuno ha voglia di confrontarsi con la memoria, ma Ludovico non molla e i rocker di un tempo ritornano e questa volta...
