VENICE, Italy (AP) — Jonathan Demme’s first experience hearing the music of Italy’s Enzo Avitabile was such perfection that the Oscar-winning filmmaker said no one would believe it if he put it on film.

“I can recall this moment very vividly because it was just a very impactive life moment,” Demme said in an interview at the Venice Film Festival, where his movie “Enzo Avitabile Music Life” premiered out of competition.
