This French-produced documentary from Italian documentarist Daniele Incalcaterra attempts to provide insight into the complicated almost chaotic Italian political system as it follows the 10 month's that Silvio Berlusconi and his cabinet were in power. It was a tumultuous time for post WW II Italy, a time when the media had plenty of power and government corruption ran amok. Rather than try to explain everything and everyone involved in the fiasco that was Berlusconi's government, the filmmakers concentrate on four primary players, Piercamillo Davigo, Antonio Di Pietro, two prominent judges, and two election candidates, Alvaro Superchi, who worked at the Alfa Romeo factory and was affiliated with the Party of the Democratic Left and Gianni Pilo, representing Berlusconi's position. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

A young French immigrant from the Middle-East struggles to grow up in the housing projects surrounding Paris in this drama. The young woman faces many obstacles. Though she is in her twenties, Mimouna is forced to live with her domineering father and his traditionally submissive wife. Her younger siblings have eschewed Algerian traditions, and so does Mimouna, but only to a point, for she can also see the value of keeping her cultural heritage alive. Whether or not she chooses to live a traditional Algerian existence or that of the modern Western woman, Mimouna realizes that her gender restricts her opportunities in life. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
