There are things you do hate, Lord. Perfume-smellin’ things, lacy things, things with curly hair.
I’ve never been completely won over by anything I’ve seen of Moretti’s, and I feel the same about The Caiman. I do like the concept here – a film on Belusconi about the problems of making a film on Berlusconi, with three different actors portraying him – but the time spent on the producer’s life seemed a rather uninteresting distraction. Still, the final Berlusconi mini-film, with Moretti himself playing Berlusconi, is a suitably and very effective image of the dark and ominous threat Berlusconi represented (represents?) to Italian democracy.
