I like the warm and ludicrous approach to Lenin's agony, the nonchalant lirycism of the sequence in the fileds, the familiar bigamy, the bizarre encounter with Stalin

Great Moravia argument: a corrupted wife that stabs her blackmailer in a familiar dinner at the beginning of the film, and then you see the narration of the inner voices (mother, husband, herself) that try to understand what has happened. Great and ugly character, the countess of operetta, Coceanu (Alda Mangini)

Hunger is anger, no doubt about it, when you see the violence between both sides and, for the irate irish, against themselves. I dont want to quote the political cinicism of Thatcher, who used the same phrase, but quote the hunger of martyrdom that literally consumes Bobby Sands. The priest, in the long pause of his conversation with Bobby, is, ironically, the only one who doesnt see his christic aura.

To long for what it gives: lot of musicals (the best is the girl in the couch with luminiscent gloves), too much rehearsing and towo or three significant interviews.

No judging, no nonsense, no need to understand fianancial/mathematic stuff film. I like the one night plot, with the board arriving by helicopter, it gives the feeling that some kind of fantastic decisions, are taken while the city dreams

Tha same tha happens to Maquet happens to the film: it is eclipsed by the the other Dumas, le vrai Dumas. That's not funny

Germi falls for Hollywood noir, before "La cittá si defende",with Diana Borghese singing Hawai,Hawai as a lethal kitty. But rather than stylizing proceedings,tries to define Jacques Sernas character with sociophilosofical lines.

One the best films, if not the best, on political Vatican. Great theme of last days of 'temporal power' before Garibaldi entrance in Rome and intimate, moving, direct, no nonsense dialogues between Manfredi, his lovable assitant and countess Flaminia (Carmen Scarpitta, best acting in the film).
