Roberto Andò | Italy | 2014 | 94 min | Italian, French, German
When Enrico Olivieri, leader of Italy’s largest opposition party, runs away right before the elections, his spin doctor comes up with a plan: he replaces Enrico with his twin Giovanni, a brilliant philosopher who is bipolar and has recently been released from an institution. Giovanni’s haikus and careless improvisations are taken as thought-provoking political parables; the party shoots up the polls.
Italian director (also for theatre) and author-scriptwriter Roberto Andò based his political satire Long Live Freedom on his novel Il trono vuoto from 2008. His trump card in this mix of Nanni Moretti’s Habemus Papam and Hal Ashby’s Being There is star Italian actor Toni Servillo (La grande bellezza, Il divo), who effortlessly portrays the opposites Enrico and Giovanni – one a grey, resigned worrier disappointed with himself and life, the other a frivolous, flamboyant blabbermouth.
