the creepily effective The Family Friend, writer-director Paolo
Sorrentino takes on the far harder task of interesting us in
Giulio Andreotti, the three-times Italian PM who survived while
many associates and opponents met sudden deaths, notably
kidnapped PM Aldo Moro. In an impossibly tangled tale, lead Toni
Servillo walks like a sleepwalker, talks without inflection and
looks expressionless and colourless, like Geoffrey Howe with
Charles Clarke's ears. It is astonishing that a film so
accusatory can be made about a living character, and an
unconvicted one.  Today's best video  Latest reviews  Today in
