Audience Member Interesting but draggy docudrama about the life and mysterious death on Italian oil magnate Enrico Mattei, alternating between scenes of his life with the years of investigation (both official and not) that followed. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/18 Full Review Audience Member "The Mattei Affair" is essentially an interesting story, somewhat marred by lacklustre direction. Told in an annoyingly fragmented flashback style, nothing much seems to happen, apart from the unpleasant plane crash scenes at the very start, which are repeated at the very end. With different handling, this film could've been an uplifting, Rocky-esque, little-guy-turned-oil-baron-against-the-odds kind of story (albeit with a necessarily unhappy ending), but it turned out to be more like a heavyweight political film that only Italians could particularly relate to. 7.25/10 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Almost political propaganda film with regard to the contents, but made ??with a good pace, great acting and a good level of realism, very nice. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Feels like a documentary, I was tired while watching this & it bored me a bit Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film remarquable, un des meilleurs du genre, mais qui ne depasse le gros defaut de ce genre : trop bavard. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. It flows like a documentary would do, but with a great directing and photography. And a wonderful Gian Maria Volontè. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
