Watch: Prova d’orchestra 1978 123movies, Full Movie Online – In a Medieval Roman chapel, now an oratorio, an elderly factotum sets up for rehearsal. The musicians arrive, joking and teasing. A union shop steward explains that a TV crew is there, talking to them is optional, and there will be no extra compensation. Musicians talk about their instruments. The German conductor arrives and puts them through their paces; he yells, he insults. The shop steward calls a 20-minute break. The conductor retreats to his dressing room and talks about how the world of music has changed, moving away from respect for the conductor. He returns to the rehearsal to find the orchestra in full revolt. What can bring them back to the music?.
Plot: Orchestra Rehearsal (Italian: Prova d’orchestra) is a 1978 Italian film directed by Federico Fellini. It follows an Italian orchestra as the members go on strike against the conductor. The film was shown out of competition at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival. Considered by some to be underrated Orchestra Rehearsal was the last collaboration between composer Nino Rota and Fellini, due to Rota’s death in 1979.

A ‘documentary’?
It is rather neglected a movie by Fellini, but I agree with those who see it as a ‘metaphor’ of the Italian society; not of the Italian society in general, but of the Italian society at the end of the ’70s. After 1968, there was turmoil in the country and the artist’s message is quite clear, apparently: prolonged social strife can lead to dictatorial outcomes. The message is not so clear at the beginning of the film and it might be seen as a sort of a ‘documentary’, but when that huge stone ‘ball’ starts pounding on the building where the ‘orchestra’ are rehearsing and a faraway voice starts becoming more and more clear and strong, Fellini’s message becomes obvious.
Awesome
I read some people saying that this film made no sense, and that it’s just a orchestra rehearsal; it hurst how wrong they are. As any other Fellini, you have to scratch the surface, and you will find a great meaning. That’s what I love about his films, they make you think! If you think nothing happened in this movie, go watch a Transformers film, you’ll probably thing that there’s a lot going on while there’s nothing at all. While it may lack Fellini’s characteristic powerful visuals, it has a very powerful meaning about politics, society and life. Awesome movie, and great for it’s lenght
