Its promo ads banned by Italy's state broadcasting agency, this film reveals how salacious television productions enable the ongoing reign of Italy's three-time prime minister and top media mogul Silvio Berlusconi. Pandering content such as bikini-clad women on his reality show does nothing to impede Berlusconi's success in running the country or in controlling Italy's airwaves, the primary source of information for most Italians.

Videocracy makes spooky comedy of a nation's addiction to fame. full review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

Videocracy is a queasy-funny and unapologetically biased look at the televisual world that the Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, has created.

Manohla Dargis, New York Times

A stale vibe is only one of the problems pervading Erik Gandini's documentary about the pathological symbiosis between unregulated media control and celebrity mania in Italy. full review
