• His career was marked by a series of public and private scandals and by the school of thought that it gave rise to, “Berlusconism”.
• One director in particular has distinguished himself in exploring the stigma left by Berlusconi on Italian society: Paolo Sorrentino.

Entertainment as “categorical imperative”

• Of the four salient features of Berlusconism shown in La Grande Bellezza, the most striking is that of the pursuit of individual pleasure.
• In an interview, Sorrentino said that Berlusconi raised entertainment during his tenure to the level of “categorical imperative”.
• Take the sweeping, Fellinian scene of the night club in the first part of the film, for example.

Television and the cult of the self

• The second feature of Berlusconi’s life is television, a medium inextricably linked to his financial success and political rise.
• One of Italy’s sex symbols from the 1980s and 1990s, she appeared on several TV entertainment shows in the 1980s and 2000s.
• Her character is somewhat of a caricature of her public persona, merging two themes – sex and television – dear to Berlusconi.

Corruption at every level

• The last major feature of Berlusconi’s life to stand out in the film is corruption.
• From falsifying business accounts to bribing lawyers, the former Prime Minister has been charged with almost every offence under the sun.

Historical perspective

• The strength of Berlusconi’s depiction also lies in its historical perspective.
• Through this spectacular, bloody performance, she represents the dead end to which the Soviet interpretation of Marxist thought has led.
• The transition to the second sequence, that of the nightclub, is a guest’s hysterical scream filmed in close-up.
• It acts as a cry of distress to express the transition from strong but bygone ideologies to the ideology of seemingly carefree, narcissistic enjoyment.
