Watch TrailerIn a country where bella figura is a national pastime, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is the maestro of media manipulation. Having risen to political primacy with the aid of his Mediaset empire, he now controls 90% of the bel paese’s television channels including the state-run RAI network. Quantity, it seems, does not equal quality. Fed on a diet of semi-naked dancing girls, inane competitions and rickety reality shows built around the most ridiculous of premises, is it any wonder that Italians are becoming a nation of fame-hungry wannabes?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Erik Gandini constructs a damning portrait not with dry data, but through a visceral collage of grotesque TV footage and revealing interviews. He relies on the stark contrast between glossy spectacle and its corrosive social impact, exploring how media fabricates desire and identity.
What lingers after the final frame is a chilling diagnosis of a culture where television doesn't reflect society—it replaces it. A crucial, unsettling watch for the media-saturated age. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Erik Gandini
