Shooting Silvio

Shooting is the story of a young, rich, orphaned, eccentric, centreless man who decides to kill Silvio Berlusconi. At first Kurtz, that's what everyone calls him, has no homicidal ideas. He proposes to the friends he has invited to his house to publish together a collective book on the Prime Minister which, in his intentions, should be an ironic denunciation of the Premier: each of the guests should write a page, each page should contain a way and a reason to annihilate Berlusconi's power. His friends, however, do not listen to him and Kurtz, annoyed by the indifference and lack of trust of his guests, throws them out in a bad way and starts to write the book alone...but he soon decides to change 'course'.

The plot revolves around Giovanni (who goes by everyone's name Kurtz after the character in Apocalypse Now played by Marlon Brando) a very rich Roman orphan who spends his days dicking around as a writer, surrounded by people he insists on calling friends but who actually have little to do with him.

The film shows the psychological collapse of an increasingly lonely man, abandoned even by his girlfriend, who ends up blaming Premier Berlusconi for all his misfortunes. Giovanni's only way out: the assassination of Berlusconi himself, an icon and symbol, according to him, of the Italian degradation of the last two decades.

Tragic ending.

The film is exciting: very paranoid and hallucinated like its protagonist, it sails through murky waters made up of loneliness and confusion. A countless number of cameos are worth mentioning: Alessandro Haber in the dual role of notary and "Filipino," journalist Marco Travaglio as himself, the legendary Remo Remoti as a taxi driver, and finally Erlend Oye, the bespectacled Kings of Convenience nerd also playing himself.

The film is certainly interesting and should be rewarded as experimentation.

Shooting Silvio is a gripping, intense and powerful film that tells the true story of how a group of friends attempted to kill former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Shooting Silvio is an interesting and amusing film about a film crew shooting a movie in Rome. The cast and crew are a motley crew of eccentrics and misfits, and the film is filled with funny and memorable scenes. The story is simple and the plot easy to follow, but the film's underlying themes are complex and interesting. Overall, Shooting Silvio is a fun and entertaining film, I suggest the vision to everyone that is interested in political drama.
