Film Music: Il Divo and Renato Zero


Finally got a chance to see Paolo Sorrentino's 2008 docu-fiction about Italian politician Giulio Andreotti. Relevance on a music blog? Sorrentino's film rarely features a shot without some sort of music. The stylized photography and frequent slow-motion sequences clearly borrow ideas from music videos.

One of my favorite scenes features a concert by Italian glam superstar Renato Zero. Andreotti (a monster) and his wife share a moment of genuine tenderness, which turns into ambivalence in front of the television. The song, "I Migliori Anni Della Nostra Vita" is perfect light-opera tinted pop. I think it is time for someone to make an ironic album of this stuff, it is amazing.

Stunning
