    The whole film has a black baroque style, which highlights the strange feeling of the political atmosphere. The soundtrack is amazing~ There are a lot of just-right renderings, which really makes him find some solace in his mockery from the depression! !...

    The film was nominated for the 82nd Academy Award for Best Makeup. Without knowing Andreaotti, I have little impression of Italian politics before the 1990s. But the film left an impression on me. The protagonist is like a clown. A clown who looks like a clown has dominated Italian politics for more than ten years. "Everyone who played with me is dead", this sentence has the meaning of being alone and seeking defeat. However, the reincarnation of heaven, may I ask who the heavens let go? ! Wait...

    2019 SIFF 15. The director's lens language is too extreme. The composition and soundtrack of each frame seem to be calculated accurately, like oil paintings and sculptures. A biographical film based on a true story, the concept of the "Mind Palace" really fascinates me. Ironic to the extreme.

    Due to the lack of narrative background and the escapism of expressive techniques, a line to describe the film is: "The situation is a bit complicated." Fortunately, the style is very modern, and the irony is not out of the...

    The rhythm of this film is relatively "smooth", the use of the camera lens is extremely delicate or precise, and the soundtrack is surprisingly the finishing touch. I am really lacking in this history, and I am thrilled to see it in the gentleness. Politics is politics, it does not need to be praised, it needs...

    I watched Italian films this time. I didn’t know the background beforehand, so I didn’t really understand it. However, not knowing this history does not hinder the appreciation of its soundtrack and visual sense. The director inserts some humorous elements from time to time. Giulio's confession is the only time when he clearly shows his...

    A boring film, long and incomprehensible. Good photography...

    Paolo Sorrentino and Toni Servello are a wonderful pair. To be honest I didn't even recognize Tony, the makeup was really good. But the story is really coming home, the main line is very unclear, the background moves very fast, and people's names come and go, and people can't remember them. It is really taken as a biography and historical facts, but it lacks a lot. everything is...

Il divo quotes

  • Giulio Andreotti: It is not always easy to explain our country to foreigners. In Italy the slowest trains are called "fast" and the evening news come out in the morning.

  • Giulio Andreotti: I don't believe in chance, I believe in the will of God.
