MOVIE REVIEW
Il divo (2008)
Music Box Films
Italian politics, prone to looking like a nest of vipers to an outside observer, receives the full weight of Paolo Sorrentino's cinematic imagination in "Il divo." Presenting the inner workings of the country's Christian Democrats through an operatic whirlpool of cross-cutting, flamboyant set-pieces, audacious musical choices and the odd surreal interjection, Mr. Sorrentino has crafted a film feverish enough to do the subject justice.
