Viva Zapatero!
THIS clever documentary from Sabina Guzzanti is very funny – and very frightening.
Italian comedian Guzzanti found her self blacklisted from mainstream Italian TV networks because of pressure from media king and president Silvio Berlusconi.
She had been writing a satirical comedy show Riot which was merciless in its hounding of Berlusconi – prompting it to be shelved.
But her revenge is sweet. In Viva Zapatero! she turns her camera on the relationship between Berlusconi’s government and the media. Although it ridicules the ruling elite with hilarious results, it is also worrying. How could Tony Blair’s friend be allowed to get away with such anti-democratic actions?
