I've hesitated to watch this documentary, because as an European the last decade his legacy was a bit that of a clown. But am I glad to have watched this, this is a documentary about the most self-indulgent narcissistic but dangerously smart man I have ever seen. You have to see it, to believe it.
You'll notice during the documentary a lot of similarities between him and Trump, but there are also BIG differences, which makes Silvio the more intriguing.
Someone of the reviewers made a remark about the terrible camerawork. That's true but only at the beginning. I don't think initially that it was a setup to make a documentary but that it was more of notes for his biographer. The guy who does the interview is also his biographer. I think that when he began to watch the footage that he realized what a gem this could be and that the filming from then on was for a documentary and also for his notes.
Now I need to read the book.
