who is the dwarf in u2 all i want is you
All I Want Is You (U2 song) Director Meiert Avis shot the promotional video in the town of Ostia, outside Rome on 18 April 1989.[5] Written by Barry Devlin, the video takes an unusual cinematic approach to the song, with U2 band members making only brief cameo appearances. The video tells the story of a dwarf played by Paolo Risi[6] who falls in love with a trapeze artist played by Paola Rinaldi, one of whom apparently dies towards the end. While there is disagreement amongst fans about exactly who has died, The Edge was quoted as saying it is the trapeze artist who dies.[7] This video pays homage to Fellini, who was shooting his last movie, "La Voce Della Luna" only a few miles away from the U2 set, and also to Tod Browning's 1932 film Freaks.[8]
