About Belluscone: A Sicilian Story
This film tells the story of three defeats: Berlusconi’s political and human defeat in his “twilight”, the one of Ciccio Mirra, Berlusconi’s unconditional supporter, deeply rooted in an ancient culture that dies hard, and the director’s artistic defeat in an Italy that recognised itself in this “Berlusconian culture” for a long time, and probably still does.
Directed by Franco Maresco, Belluscone: A Sicilian Story leans on a strong ensemble — Salvatore De Castro, Marcello Dell'Utri, Ciccio Mira — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 2014.
