This Is Italy
It is decadent, controversial and anything but subtle. He built a media empire, rose to prominence in the Italian politics and survived one scandal after another. Although his political role after the last elections played out seems, he dominated the Italian and European media for years. And he still keeps people busy, witness the new biographical film Parrot (them, to the businessmen and politicians around him), about the life of Silvio Berlusconi.
Did we already see the rise of Berlusconi masterfully represented in the series 1993, now there is from the acclaimed director Paolo Sorrentino (known for La Grande Bellezza) a portrait of Il Cavaliere during his downturn… B.'s wife has had enough of his excesses, his allies pull their hands off him, the curtain falls on his political career… But Berlusconi is a cat with 9 lives.
How far will he go to maintain his power? A fascinating look behind the mask: What drove one of the most intriguing figures of recent times? We see it all in loro.
At last year's Cannes Film Festival, Sorrentino said about Parrot that he wanted to make a film about Italians. And that Berlusconi is the archetype of Italianity'. He can tell the story of the Italians through the old politician. According to Sorrentino.
Of course, any resemblance to existing persons is purely coincidental, according to the film's trailer.
The role of Berlusconi is in good hands with Toni Servillo. Just like before in La Grande Bellezza en Le consequent dell'amore.
The distributor in the Netherlands is counting on a great success, judging by the extensive marketing campaign that is being conducted for the film. Parrot the film even got its own Dutch website: www.lorodefilm.nl.
