RAFFA
Type: biographical documentary
Director: Daniele Lucchetti. With Raffaella Carrà, Loretta Goggi, Fiorello, Tiziano Ferro, Bob Sinclair, Renzo Arbore, Enzo Paolo Turci, Barbara Boncompagni
A year and a half after his passing, Disney+ hosts a three-episode docu-series dedicated to the human and professional journey of Raffaella Carrà. The intent is to “beatify” (secularly and artistically, of course) a figure who has marked culture, customs, television, linking the national-popular imagination to that of “feminism” and the emancipation of woman.
Directed by Daniele Luchetti, and written by Cristiana Farina with Carlo Altinier, Barbara Boncompagni, Salvatore Coppolino and Salvo Guercio, Raffa it is a hymn to an all-round artist, interpreter of the main evolutions of the small screen.
From the Tuca Tuca and the navel exposed at the great Saturday night variety shows, from the weekday revolution of Hello, Raffaella? to the triumph in Spain and the United States passing through the countless songs that have become the soundtrack of a nation, Raffa it also opens the doors of Carrà’s private life, her childhood in Bellaria, her relationship with her mother, her loves.

The result is a portrait, embellished with period videos and interviews with show business personalities (from Fiorello to Loretta Goggi), of a unique personality, capable of using television also as a civil instrument, of denunciation, of resolution of small and large problems of society.
To retrace the career and path of an icon of twentieth-century costume.
