We wanted to be U2 Volevamo essere gli U2
Plot
Thirty-year-old Marco gathers a group of young people to form a rock band. While they are creating their repertoire, they gradually come to know more about each other, developing friendships, loves, and hostilities. They hope to get an audition on television thanks to Marco’s connections, but in the meantime perform at the university. Their concert is a disaster and after being turned down for the television audit, the band dissolves. Nevertheless, some of the members remain friends, and several months later nearly all of them gather together at a party.
Review
The film tries (and in part succeeds) to trace the boundaries of a generational biography: that of young people raised with television and the myths of success and stardom, between reality and stereotype.
