IFFR 2009 – Il Divo
side note: back again after some blogging fatigue.. let’s see how long I’ll last this time, heheh..
Movie: Il Divo ( Paolo Sorrentino, Italy, France, 2008, 110′) 
Date: Jan 31, 2009
Rating: 
(an interesting political biopic-thriller; sitting on the 3rd row was a bit too much tho 
)
Plot: A biopic about one of the thoughest survivor-type rats politicians of Italy and maybe the world: Guilio Andreotti.
Cast: Very well-balanced cast playing their roles beautifully; they add to the absolute absurdity of the story.
Visuals: Predictable visuals: long shots across old squares with beautiful old buildings and scored with classical music (not a visual aspect, I know). I was right. Great slow-motion shots, shadowed profile and close up shots, the works.
Conclusion: I got what I expected: a classy, bombastic biopic about the devilish deeds of a politician and some insight into the world of Italian politics.
Shit, and here I was, thinking you finally bought some good music
okay, okay.. before the end of this year I’ll start listening to what you call “some good music”, deal?
of course, there’s always some kind of payback, my friend
Payback’s fine … as long as I am the one paying back
