Belluscone: A Sicilian Story
HistoryDocumentary
This film tells the story of three defeats: Berlusconi’s political and human defeat in his “twilight”, the one of Ciccio Mirra, Berlusconi’s unconditional supporter, deeply rooted in an ancient culture that dies hard, and the director’s artistic defeat in an Italy that recognised itself in this “Berlusconian culture” for a long time, and probably still does.
VIBE
A somber, reflective look at the lingering shadows of a complex political figure and the cultural landscape he shaped. It feels like a slow, deliberate unearthing of societal truths, tinged with a quiet, intellectual melancholy.
