SCREENPLAY

Paolo Sorrentino

Among the possible titles for the film that he wanted to make up Sorrentino Andreotti, always inspired by the many nicknames of the Italian Parliament, was that of Beelzebub . It would not be not bad considering that the character was a truccatissimo and impassive Toni Servillo has staged almost demonic features, although more limited grotesque irony of the author Naples. It appears that the visible reference in the film that ricondurrebbero to Nosferatu and Pinhead of Hellraiser are completely random, and Sorrentino's will was to be sealed to the reality show despite this many bizarre characteristics of the protagonist, but it is undeniable that the movements of Servillo / Andreotti have the disturbing. The film speaks especially of the seventh Andreotti government, and then the fall of an empire that lasted decades of Italian history. Technically impeccable, strong technical support from the Director Cinematographer Luca Bigazzi, directed a spectacle of events, often shown with a surprising iconography. Andreotti is haunted by a veiled remorse for the death of Moro and what his image means in respect of the Mafia trials. The ambivalence between a cold and calculating Andreotti and his hidden humanity becomes the true subject of the film. In a dreamlike Sorrentino imagine that Andreotti confessed that his actions are such as to maintain a status quo, a balance that keeps the evil by the State above all else. Here, the ambiguity between good and evil becomes the very essence of the character Andreotti, his conviction that moves through the divine will, which is guardian and servant. Moreover Divo comes from "divine".
