...spirits of those who succumb to it; the implicit paranoia of the thriller disorders the very institutions of society. But I suspect the picture he most enjoyed doing was his intimate documentary about his friend, Frank Gehry, the architect, in which he was also an interviewer and an occasional camera operator. It had the scale, tone and leisurely production schedule that suited...
...film's real fascination is with the accoutrements of power: the grand palaces in which policies are made and plots are hatched; the whispered threats and even more ominous silences. The men walk slowly, but Sorrentino's camera moves at a racing glide, turning this talkathon into a thrillingly moving picture. As incarnated by Tony Servillo (who is a front runner for Best Actor and is also in Gomorrah), Andreotti has the stiff posture of Richard Nixon, but a more imperial menace.

Followed by a camera crew from their housing project to Sacre Coeur to Charles de Gaulle airport, they harass women, break a bottle over a café owner's head, fight with the police and commit a carjacking. The video ends with the car set aflame and the cameraman apparently beaten unconscious. The screen goes...
