Sexocracy: The man of Bunga Bunga

Well paced and enjoyable this doc opens a window on interesting cultural aspects of the Berlusconi era. Socially and anthropologically relevant, it shows how Silvio Berlusconi gave form and directed the tastes, ideas and believes of the Italians through the shows he aired from the early '80 on his three private networks, shows that were crafted by Lele Mora, his long time friend, the popular show business manager who later became his Bunga Bunga "partner in crime".

If you are into Italian culture and politics this is a must see.

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.

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.

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.

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.
