Nanni Moretti tells about how he got to see Caesar Must Die before it was released. The composer, Giuliano Taviani talks about how he became interested in writing music for film, and how budget limits actually inspired him in writing the music for this movie.

Music plays an essential role in the films of the Taviani brothers. It's like having another actor. Composer Nicola Piovani knows something about this having worked with them on some of their movies. He also composed the soundtrack for the movie La Vita è Bella (Life is Beautiful) with Roberto Benigni.

Music and sound have major roles in the movies of the Taviani brothers. Notably, the tarantella from Allonsanfàn, written by Ennio Morricone, was also used by Tarantino in one of his movies, and that's when it became famous.

We learn about the ideas behind the movies, Father and Master and The Night of the Shooting Stars, and how music played a major role in both movies.

The Taviani brothers were adolescents during World War II, and talk about how tense it was growing up with the Germans and fascists so close by. A woman at a bar gives them directions to find one of the locations for filming The Night of the Shooting Stars.

The Taviani brothers reveal some tricks used during the filming of The Night of San Lorenzo and tell us how they managed to combine a particular sequence of the film with the cornerstone of Greek literature, The Iliad.

It's not often that two people, let alone brothers, can work together in perfect harmony. But artists who have worked with the Taviani brothers say they came very close. Paolo and Vittoio knew what they wanted and they knew how they wanted to obtain it, down to the letter.

This is the final installment of the documentary dedicated to the Taviani brothers. It concludes as they do some location scouting in the marvelous old city of Montepulciano for Maraviglioso Boccaccio (Wondrous Boccaccio), a 2015 film. Vittorio Taviani died in 2015 at the age of 88, and Paolo is 89 and still making films.

Franco Battiato sings about love philosophically. It's useless to have regrets, since we can't go back in time.

Permeating the song are images of a Sicilian beach in the hot summer and the waves that could carry you out to sea.

Tozeur is a city in southwestern Tunisia, near the Algerian border. The train line referred to in the song was originally built for the king in the early 1900s when Tunisia was still a French protectorate. More info about the song here.
