Sexocracy: The man of Bunga Bunga

An entertaining documentary that suffers from being based on some chronicle facts of Italy's Berlusconi era. Back then in 2010-2012 they were very relevant but now not anymore. The death of Silvio Berlusconi could give this work another window of relevance in the future. Anyway it is well written, well shot and paced.

A fair documentary about a historical moment in Italy, when Prime Minister Berlusconi was ruling every aspect of the Italian life, owning all major private tv stations. He was able to turn show girls into ministers. Socially and sociologically interesting.

Since my country is very near both culturally and geographically to Italy it's very normal for us from Albania to watch and like Italian products and stories. This is a documentary that interested me so much since the scandals the documentary talks about were so famous and "talked about" here in Albania. This work is a seamless and exciting succession of visual and told information about the scandals that involved the then Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi who was allegedly supplied with "easy girls" by the powerful Lele Mora, the king of talent managers of Italy from the '80 up to 2010. There's a lot to learn from this documentary I was able to watch on Netflix from the first time director Ruben Soriquez. I loved the rhythm of this film, never boring from beginning to end.

This film, shot before Lele Mora ended up in jail for fraudulent bankruptcy, may be considered the completion of Videocracy. But is not based only on the point of view of the former agent of the VIP, but also on th point of view of those who are not interested in joining the showbiz: Lanie, the beautiful Filipino girl whose essential values are the love for her family and her job. The film proceeds in parallel between the memories of Mora and the few windows of images from which Lanie comments about the fever for appearance of young Italians, and criticizes the commodification of the female body. One may ask himself who is the author of this commodification, the one to blame. One of the theses of the documentary is simple: if the woman would not make her body available, this could not certainly get commodified. In the film could not miss Silvio Berlusconi that so much affected Lele Mora's career . That national Silvio considered the greatest architect of the invasion of the places of power by showgirls and starlets. Young women hungry for power and success bred in the 'stable' Lele Mora, like the famous Ruby Rubacuori. In Sexocracy Lele Mora reiterates his innocence regarding all the accusations made to him from various fronts, but the direction of Soriquez, does not seem to support his thesis, with a montage that sometimes underlines his contradictions. "The truth is always a little real and a bit fake" Mora says at the end of the film. Thesis quite philosophical if we review the theories of philosophers-mathematicians. Only that makes you smile told by him. Sexocracy, Cratia of Sex, the most powerful energy of the human being, and like all things can be used for good or for evil.

I was able to watch this documentary even though it is indeed hard to find it. But I was lucky. Lucky because thanks to that I know a little more about Italians, their customs, their dreams, their misery. I love that country the way i love mine. And I was very proud to see that in this good feature there is a point of view of my country-fellow. But the Philippines, when it comes to the dreams of teens and youth is not much different. Also here people are really crazy for showbiz and would do anything to enter this world....The point of view of the young and pretty Filipina who works in Italy is indeed conservative but to be respected. Here politicians are not better than in Italy. There are many "Silvio Berlusconi" here dating young women sometimes younger than 18....but they are just more careful doing this...Everywhere is just the same when it comes to sex. The documentary in engaging, ironic, entertaining. Good job. It is a pity that there's no English version but only subtitles...
