Oscar-Worthy film and role for Massimo Ranieri

This film has the word "OSCAR" written all over it for best foreign film, possibly, best picture of the year, and even best actor award for Massimo Ranieri. This is the latest film for the legendary singer/actor. Massimo definitely gives an outstanding performance as Michelangelo, a street artist, who tries to make a comeback in the theater, while at the same time, making amends with his estranged son. The film is set in Naples and Paris. Michelangelo and his son set out to Paris to try a new life. When they discover a theater in Paris, Michelangelo convinces the theater owner to let him use the theater to teach drama classes to a diverse group of young actors. This is another great opportunity where Massimo gets to demonstrate his singing and acting abilities. My favorite part of the movie is where he encourages unity and the actors to embrace each others' cultural differences. This leads to an impromptu jam session between the young people and Michelangelo. I am looking forward to this film being released in the US. A friend gave me an advanced copy of this film, on the condition that I write a review.
