Il divo (2008)
Synopsis
In Rome, at dawn,
when everyone is sleeping, one man is awake. That man is Giulio Andreotti. He’s
awake because he has to work, write books, move in fashionable circles and, last
but not least, pray.
Calm, crafty and inscrutable, Andreotti is synonym
of power in Italy for over four decades.
At the beginning of the
Nineties, this impassive yet insinuating, ambiguous yet reassuring figure
appears set to assume his seventh mandate as Prime Minister without arrogance
and without humility.
Approaching seventy, Andreotti is a gerontocrat
who, with all the attributes of God, is afraid of no one and does not know the
meaning of awe, since he is accustomed to seeing it stamped on the faces of all
his interlocutors.
His satisfaction is muted, impalpable. For him,
satisfaction is power, with which he has a symbiotic relationship. Power the way
he likes it.
Unwavering and immutable, from the outset. He emerges
unscathed from everything: electoral battles, terrorist massacres, slanderous
accusations.
He is untouched by it all, unchanging. Until the strongest
counter power in Italy, the Mafia, declares war on him. Then things change.
Perhaps even for the enigmatic, immortal Andreotti.
But the question is:
do they really change or only appear to? We can be sure of one thing: it is
difficult to tarnish Andreotti, the man who knows the ways of the world better
than any of us.
