Without Italo Disco, no house music, no Chemical Brothers, no Daft Punk, right? Which illustrates how jaunty youth music can age with great dignity. With plenty of fun facts, this documentary offers an excursion back to an epoch when millions of Europeans indulged in synthesisers, catchy melodies, and bizarre English lyrics. It was a German record producer who came up with the genre label. With an appropriate mix of seriousness and irony, the comments are delivered by international trendwatchers, sociologists, and of course the pioneers themselves.
