Review of Vincere (2009) by Bruno L — 17 May 2011
Really good! Giovanna Mezzogiorno was amazing. The performances are very powerful in general. The dark cinematography really lends itself to this dark period of human history. The film is very dramatic almost behaving like an opera with its dark, brooding music, larger then life headlines thrown across the screen and general attitude of sweet suffering.
Themes of the insanity of war and maniacal pursuit of power come through loud and clear, even with minimal knowledge of Mussolinis life. More detailed knowledge, though, does help make sense of the last half, which moves quickly through history.
