It may sound odd to describe a documentary about Silvio Berlusconi's relations with the Sicilian Mafia as hilarious, but Franco Maresco's effort is a brilliantly stylized theater of the absurd. The film uses brisk pacing, cheesy theatrical sets, and the ironic narration of film critic Tatti Sanguineti to accentuate the story's near-unbelievability—which, of course, makes it all the realer.
