Loro - Die Verführten

Wissenswertes
An obstacle was that Sorrentino's usual Italian co-financier Medusa Film, which is controlled by Berlusconi, was not willing to participate in this production.

Alternative Versionen
The 145 minutes cut of the movie, simply called "Loro", was shown in italian cinemas on September 13, 2018. This new cut, which combines scenes from both "Loro 1" and "Loro 2", has been made in order to allow the movie to run for the 91st Academy Awards and to compete in international festivals as a standalone film.

Still searching for the Dolce Vita

The number of hot topless partying women snorting coke skewed to the first reel. When I squirm in my seat since I have to figure out how my fiancee is enjoying the movie, I prefer even distribution of such erotic images. Defenders would say that all of the debaucheries was meant to set the tone for the life of Silvio Berlusconi, the media tycoon who after serving as Italy's prime minister is the longest-serving post-war head of government. I am no expert of Italian politics but this movie did not leave me feeling like I understand the Roman modern-day political world any more than I did last week.
