Review of Il Divo (2008) by Jean-Michel D — 20 Aug 2009
There was a political life in Italy before Berlusconi, symbolized by the Christian Democrats. Symbolizing them more than anybody, according to his enemies anyway, was Giulio Andreotti.
He's the main person here, but anyway just a kind of scenery. The real main character is a phony or realistic Italian political society, balancing on the destruction border.
This is not because of the story, but from the feverish camera work, which isn't just registrating. This is plain camera choreography used in fantastic ways by Paolo Sorrentino. That's the main reason you'll probably will remember this claustrophobic movie for a long time.
To be recommended.
