With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches. Nobody is quite who they seem. A good follow-up to Weiner. Power and ambition drive every scene.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 54 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
The personal and professional story of Ilona Staller, known as Cicciolina, is probably unique: she left communist Hungary and moved to Italy, where she found a fertile environment for a life dedicated to scandal.
