Bruno Bonomo was a famous producer of B-movies in the ‘70s. After a long hiatus, Bonomo offers a screenplay to RAI centered on the figure of Italy’s prime minister and media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi, a subject so controversial that even the public television broadcaster refuses to produce it

VIBE

A darkly funny, meta-cinematic dive into the murky waters of media, power, and the elusive nature of truth. It’s a film that questions the stories we tell and who gets to tell them, leaving you with a lingering sense of unease.
