Starring: Toni Servillo, Elena Sofia Ricci and Riccardo Scamarcio
This is the scandalous and private life of Italy’s most infamous politician: Silvio Berlusconi. Packed with sensational satirical sting, biopics don’t come more unauthorised than this! Meaning ‘them’ in Italian, the title is also a play on words as l’oro means ‘gold’. The film is less about politics and more about its protagonist’s wild ambition, which is neatly summarised when he is asked ‘What did you expect: to be the richest man in the country, become prime minister and be madly loved by everyone too?’ His response is instantaneous: ‘Yes, that’s exactly what I expected.’
