Belluscone: A Sicilian Story

The film delves into the tale of three losses: the political and personal downfall of Silvio Berlusconi amidst his twilight years, the defeat of Ciccio Mirra, an unwavering follower of Berlusconi deeply entrenched in a centuries-old culture that struggles to die away, and the creative decline experienced by the director as he grapples with presenting Italy's complex relationship with what has come to be known as "Berlusconian culture." This narrative explores themes of power, tradition, and identity as it delves into the intricacies of a nation that may have been, and perhaps still is, deeply rooted in this distinct societal fabric.
