Videocracy (2009)

movie · 85 min · Italian · 6.5/10

Streaming in Sweden on Cineasterna.

In 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?

Starring Silvio Berlusconi, Flavio Briatore, Fabrizio Corona, Lele Mora, Simona Ventura, Marella Giovannelli, Rick Canelli.
