San Diego Italian Film Festival 2012: Il caimano

Il caimano (The Caiman)

2006, Nanni Moretti, 112 mins

Bankrupt in his professional and personal life, movie producer Bruno Bonomo is finding it impossible to raise the finances for his latest project, “The Return of Christopher Columbus.” By chance, he meets a young director who gives him her script, “The Caiman.” At first Bruno takes it for a half-hearted thriller. Later, a more careful reading reveals it is a film about the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. No longer can he stand back.
