Even the bibles of film criticism as Variety and Cahiers du Cinéma had to capitulate to the unexpected extent of the event film. The jury of the Venice has resigned in a dismayed embarrassment faced with the impossibility of judging an opera film of this magnitude. A meta-movie that was filmed and broadcast on TV, newspapers, unbeknownst to the protagonist, a Pharaonic version of "The Truman Show" that the comparison "Citizen Kane" seems "Fracchia the human beast" , the " Fiction infinite where the studios are the whole world, the sets are real and the actors come and go from fiction seamlessly.
And it is only through a declaration of an improvident actors secondary, such Giampaolo Tarantino, who plays a purveyor of high-class prostitutes, that today the world became aware of the biggest political fiction film in history (which by comparison "Ben Hur" looks "I Cesaroni") . Tarantino has revealed publicly that her colleagues were regularly rewarded for their performance, particularly certain actresses hired by the production to play the role of escort, with the intention to revive the trend a bit 'hazy plot. To which the protagonist Silvio "Truman" Berlusconi , granite convinced that women should be tender to his advances only through his tireless power amateur, became suspicious, and the danger that the entire roof jump was so real as to require prompt intervention and evanescent dell'insospettabile Gianni Letta , here at his first work as director-shadow. Returning
the emergency the director had to disclose under the crossfire of the international media the details of his great work "in progress" , presenting material to audiences and critics so far shot.
Plot
A small and annoying Milanese entrepreneur, with three television networks and friendships with some opaque, becomes the head several times government of a European country pure fantasy (vaguely reminiscent of a folk version of Italy, but more cafona, arrogant, backward and provincial). After years of uninterrupted, surreal and hilarious gag political and personal ( calls from Protagonist "successes" ) its hegemonic and totalitarian power is placed in jeopardy by 10 simple questions for a newspaper and a scafata professional escort. The most refined film buffs have called "a very successful blend of comedy alleniana of the dictator state Bananas and despair of post-atomic Planet of the Apes" . The unanimous opinion of the public is was "cojoni me!" .
Duration
staging Officially started in April 2008, but according to many knowledgeable individuals would begin to 15 years, that would place in serious competition with the most successful soap opera ever : In recent days there have been Read a tight contacts between producers and the Beautiful and Paths, strongly interested in taking over the rights dell'avvincente script made of partying, sex, power, money, plots, which are all the ingredients of a typical American sitcom family. Having read the response that the show is based on a towel stolen from the Bagaglino and the rest is result of the inherent spirit of improvisation protagonist of the unaware, the savvy manufacturers have signed up happily folded Mara Carfagna (who plays the Minister of Equal Opportunities, but is actually named Maria Rosaria and makes the valley of the third category on television) for a remake of soft porn "Doctor Who" . Indefinite
the date of Completion of the film: the final date should coincide with the biological limit of the protagonist, but expect the hopeful developments in medical science and digital animation (the characters of fantasy like Grandma Duck never die, just ?).
Cast
Makeup and costumes are minimal, as the protagonist itself already provides . Major was the financial commitment needed to rebuild the bizarre sets and exotic locations. Having rejected the idea of \u200b\u200bliving the Premier in a mock space station orbiting the designers have opted for the vulgar of an absurd megalomania summer residence, Villa Certosa pompously called , worthy of the chief of Spectre: extinct volcanoes, secret passages , tanks with sharks, archaeological whores. At the time the star has not yet realized that the walls are paper mache supported by metal scaffolding. Al production by the end of the gigantic false will be converted into an outlet.
noteworthy that the miraculous special effects allow you to digitally reconstruct the old town of L'Aquila and thousands of displaced people to cozy chalets with geraniums, garden gnomes and pool: one of the most poignant moments of the film, the protagonist in tears will congratulate networks reunited with the volunteers of Civil Defence and Police Forces with all the superhuman efforts. Noteworthy are the numerous security guards that will prevent the Abruzzi to destroy the set, once perceiving the Pharaonic alone.
Cast Art
The landing at the Lido between two rows of photographers and fans into raptures decreed the final consecration of the two female protagonists, Letizia and Patrick D'Addario , in their role of Lolita and mischievous enterprising mercenary sex (in real life the first is the driver of Craxi, the second an enterprising mercenary sex).
Criticized by film buffs rather than snob, the cast who plays the government was judged too grotesque even for a film like this tragicomic . Some characters, such as Renato Brunetta, seem taken from the weight of the more ramshackle circus. Possible
nominated for an Oscar for the actor who plays Mr Maurizio Gasparri , considered one of the most brilliant of the year, a sort of Forrest Gump all'amatriciana , a boy minidotato that due to the strength of will, commitment and tenacity becomes prime minister and government spokesman then. Memorable scene where Gasparri, driven only by the power of social redemption, he manages to put his signature to the dictation of the Framework Law on Telecommunications (because of the difficulty seems to have made use of a stand-in).
unanimous approval from critics for all the cast who plays the mysterious faction called "Lega Nord" , a bunch of crazy obsessed with black men troglodytes. According to the casting director, that Giulio Tremonti (the actor, who plays with exceptional skill and a mad staring Minister of Economy, the monthly magazine Ciak has confessed that he created his character Willy Wonka and the stirring Mad Hatter ), the selection was severe: professional actors were chosen (Roberto Maroni, Roberto Castelli, ...) and characters taken from the road ( noteworthy Borghezio our talented, Calderoli, Salvini and Bricolo ), comparable to pathos to "Boys Life" Pasolini's worthy of a shabby freak show and the Ciprì Maresco. With great effort of coordination of production, the presence of thousands of extras in costume, the scene of epic Celtic gathering in Pontida was judged as one of the best scenes of mass ever, on par with "Gandhi" and "The Ten Commandments" . The most acute have noticed the presence of a young born-again promise of Italian cinema, Renzo Bossi, in the role of the swaggering, semi-literate son of the Minister of Relations with Parliament, in turn interpreted by a Umberto Bossi in a state of grace ( "half strolling by popular comedy and half crippled the decadent Brando in Apocalypse Now ", Vanity Fair).
Scene cult
Among the scenes cult revenue directly in the collective include:
- while the Soviet tanks prepare to cross the border of Abkhazia, Berlusconi spoke at the last minute with a joint telephone interview, Saakashvili and Putin averts a nuclear war by imposing peace in the Caucasus (the voices on the phone are two well-known voice actors Moscow);
- in the midst of economic turmoil triggered by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the cold clarity of Berlusconi imposes itself as an authoritative global beacon of financial policy . After an intensive interview, George W. Bush (played by a very valuable Christian De Sica) is convinced and, under the proud eyes of Berlusconi, order the immediate appropriation of zillion dollars in aid to banks;
- suffering from a delusion of omnipotence, worthy of Al Pacino in Scarface, Berlusconi issued a series of press conferences where hallucinatory extols the achievements of his government accompanied with delirious satisfaction surveys (68.4%), newspapers attacking the Communists and telling dirty jokes. With the same grace of a surreal films of Charlie Chaplin, the silent audience of journalists approve.
Epilogue
Following the screening, it seems that most of these will be looked at each other in an eerie silence, gripped by a light, soothed and elusive feeling of deja vu .
