THE MASS MEDIA AND POLITICAL INTERESTS
In Italy, for the last 30 years, image has been controlled by a single man. The president and tycoon Silvio Berlusconi has wielded an influence over the country’s commercial television never seen before in Italy. Its channels, with its skimpily-clad young girls, are seen by many as a mirror of his own taste and personality. In this documentary, the Italian Erik Gandini portrays the consequences of the television experiment suffered by this trans-alpine country in the last three decades, worming its way into the most powerful media spheres in the nation. An unusual tale born from the terrifying reality of Italy’s “TV-republic”.
