IL DIVO

October 16th, 2009

IL DIVO- Premise by Netflix. “Paolo Sorrentino directs this superbly entertaining docudrama about the colorful life and political career of Italy’s Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti and his party’s decades-long throttlehold on Italian politics. Highlighting accusations of mafia ties, Sorrentino pulls no punches as he lays any number of corruption scandals and even political assassinations at the politician’s feet, all with a sly sense of humor. Toni Servillo stars as Andreotti.” Great reviews. TRDB.

I saw this and here’s what I said- ” One critic said that the movie should come with a set of Cliff Notes to explain what was going on in Italy and I AGREE. I turned it off halfway.” TRDB. Netflix Streaming. 10/09
