In case you haven’t seen it, Il Divo is an extraordinary portrayal of the man who above all shaped modern Italian post-democratic politics – the insectoid Andreotti. At some point if I recall rightly someone says ‘the man has more than something of the alien about him.’ He is also the man about whom his own mother said ‘when you have nothing good to say about someone, you should remain silent.’
It is more a portrayal of the Christian Democrat psyche and it’s claustrophobic power-complexes than an thoroughgoing analysis of the man’s connections with the CIA/Mafia/P2 and the dubiousness of the Moro affair – although they are more than hinted at.
Recommended and all the actors are superb.
