Anecdotes
This movie has the same story as The Exception (2016), in which a German soldier is sent to the manor home of the abdicated Kaiser Wilhelm II, both to run the security detail and to spy on the Kaiser, whom the Nazi leaders worry is not fully onboard with their program and may issue negative statements. As in Il Cattivo Poeta, the soldier comes to side with his aged charge; Wilhelm is portrayed as much favourable to the fascists in charge; and there is a visit with a high-ranking official which shows the soldier and the aged leader the brutality of the current regime. However, Il Cattivo Poeta handles this more realistically and is based more on fact.

Gaffes
In 1916, Gabriele D'Annunzio lost his right eye in a plane accident, and from there on, he had all his newspapers reprinted on a single column to facilitate reading, and wrote all his poems only on the left part of the page. In the movie, set between 1936 and 1938, he sees, reads and writes normally.

Magnificent lesson on a historical wrong turn

This is a beautifully filmed story with a towering performance by Sergio Castellitto as Gabriele d'Annunzio. While it helps to know something about d'Annunzio - which the makers could assume Italian viewers would - the story is clear enough for anyone to follow. It is a subtle but captivating story of Italian fascism before World War II and how even an idealistic political view can be executed in a horrendous way - in that way, it relates to films like The Young Lions. But for those who consider d'Annunzio a proto-fascist (which he was), it's illuminating to get this focus on his differences with Mussolini and the Italian government's plan to muzzle him. The art direction and music are excellent, and you get to see some of d'Annunzio's bizarrely impressive Vittoriale home on the banks of Lake Garda.

I hope they release this with English subtitles.
