I bring perhaps a different perspective to this film since I was closely enthusiastic in Italian affairs while at the U.S. Site Department in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Many of the characters’ names were familiar to me and I met a few of them personally including Andreotti himself as Foreign Minister and Prime Ministers Fanfani, Craxi and Spadolini.

That said, I found this film more allegorical than illuminating. I did indulge in it especially visually, and the portrayals of the physical Andreotti and his laconic philosophical above-the-fray long-range perspectives and utterances and his quietly sardonic style were lovely. And those ears! A astronomical make-up job. Plus I enjoyed the refresher course in the Italian language. I could follow noteworthy of the film without the captions.

Beyond those aspects though, the film was too allegorical and hard to follow. And if it was so for me, I would imagine it would be even more so for the general American audience and even for many younger Italians. Level-headed, the rich visual imagery and cinematography brought serve to me many memories of Italy itself from my service in her and about her at the Situation Department.

“Il Divo” is recent breed of biopic, a mixture of fact and fiction, whose power is in its visual and auditory style rather than in fable. The subject is Italy’s seven-time Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti, who was associated with every major political scandal in Italy for 50 years, frequently accused of kill and mayhem, and rumored to be the upright master of the P2 Masonic Lodge. Some possess him responsible for many of the 236 political murders that occurred in Italy between 1969 and 1984. Writer/director Paolo Sorrentino focuses on the early 1990s, from the beginning of Andreotti’s seventh government in 1991 until his trial in 1996, during which time he lost a explain to become President and was undermined by Mafia turncoats who testified against him.

Roger Ebert described “Il Divo” as “like a dim comedy version of The Godfather”. I can’t consider of a more top-notch description. This is satire, though many of the events of the film actually happened. Andreotti (Toni Servillo) is almost a comically absurd character, in spite of the violence, and speaks about himself with an ironic tone. This is all the more astonishing because Giulio Andreotti is mild living. The Italian political system is portrayed as farce. Andreotti is a laconic man, enigmatic and apparently self-consciously so. He is known for his lack of emotion, so Paul Sorrentino felt the need to introduce some into a character that might seem wooden otherwise. Andreotti’s preoccupation with the 1978 death of Aldo Moro, which troubles him in the film, is fictional as far as anyone knows.

Being odd with Italian politics, I don’t know what else has been fictionalized. What captivated me about “Il Divo” is that it is unusually cinematic. There is not a lot of dialogue, though Andreotti’s meetings with the members of his faction, the fast-talking Paolo Pomicino (Carlo Buccirosso), dumb Vittorio Shardella (Massimo Popolizio), and foolish Franco Evangelisti (Flavio Bucci), are darkly hilarious. The film lacks a strong fable thread but is visually bright. Luca Bigazzi’s camera creeps around. The eclectic acquire is perfect. I was never distinct what Giulio Andreotti wanted, unless it is “perpetuating rotten to guarantee reliable”, as he says, and “Il Divo” takes patience. But this is a glowing and thoughtful film, even if it doesn’t try to go anywhere. In Italian with optional English subtitles.
