Adriano Celentano gives a pretty fair performance as the unknown turned overnight sensational modern day messiah Joan Lui. This is another musical he wrote, produced, and directed a decade after Yuppi Du. Claudia Mori, his real wife, appears in the film as communist reporter, Tina Foster. The movie has plenty of singing and dancing, as well as anti-American propaganda in the second half of the film. I kept thinking i was watching Jesus Christ Superstar thru most of this film, since there's some scenes referencing to the breaking of bread and crucifixion of Christ. But after Lui's shot, you think he's dead..until he slowly gets up and then he turns to Superman, and just stands there even as shots are being fired at him. I have a lot of respect for Celentano as a singer and actor, but feel he could have done this film much better.
