About This Movie

Jesus Loves the Fools is an intriguing documentary that delves into the vibrant 80s music scene in Milan, Italy. It captures the essence of a time when the fading legacy of 70s music left a void, pushing artists toward something raw and different. The film chronicles the rise of 'Vox Pop', a label born from a desire to escape the confines of commercial Sanremo songs. Carnival of Fools, with their track 'Blues get off my shoulder', epitomizes this rebellion.

The use of archival footage and interviews paints a rich tapestry of creativity against a backdrop of cultural change, making it quite distinct in its storytelling.
