Leaburn O Interested because it was a Sorrentino film and it introduced me to a bit of the Andretti backstory that I was ignorantly unaware of. Unfortunately no matter how well made the film, I couldn't follow what was going on because there are hundreds of characters we're introduced to and following the convoluted plots of the magus connections was a total nightmare. That said, I got the tough gist but wasn't entirely entertained. Bought this one for £1 in a charity shop and was intrigued as this movie had entirely passed me by. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Toni Servillo prende i panni di uno dei capi di Stato più influenti della storia Italiana, e lo fa con una splendida performance. Si percorrono gli ultimi anni della sua presidenza, le delusioni e il castello che si sgretola; tutto accompagnato dai lucidi e taglienti commenti in prima persona di Servillo, avido osservatore e abile marionettista. Tanti personaggi intorno a lui hanno il loro spazio, mentre viene molto tralasciato tutto ciò che avvenne prima. Viene data molta più importanza all'aspetto intimo del personaggio, piuttosto che alla sua storia. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Liam D When Italy do Political and Mafia Thrillers it's a special kind of movie and this is top class in both genres in both English and Foreign movie making Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/21 Full Review Audience Member Italian politics remain something of a difficult subject for film as it's endlessly confusing. Sorrentino narrows the focus just enough here to give you a sense of the chaotic depths of the corruption even if Andreotti remains an enigmatic figure at the end. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member For a movie where I only occasionally had a basic level of knowledge to follow what was going on-not a fault of the film's, nor of mine, but just an incompatibility of audience and art-I rarely was confused or entirely lost. As ambiguous, byzantine, and culturally contained as the political machinations may be, the story is nonetheless so compellingly filmed, convincingly performed and confidently shot, that the movie easily captures the viewer's attention and imagination, if not always their comprehension. In that way, the film in effect reflects its central subject, whose mild-mannered Machiavellianism seemed shrouded and overshadowed by the spectacle of his perpetual political prominence-"Il Divo" could just as easily be translated as "the celebrity" as it could "the divine"-the most effective way of concealing corruption being to stand in the spotlight, a point American leaders have taken note of, as well. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review nefasto r La bellezza di questo film contrasta con la il triste fatto che è troppo simile alla realtà dei fatti.
