Tom F Jan 29 A wild journey of a narcissist stumbling his way to autocratic power, fortunately nothing at all relevant to the modern day. See more Jommy D @Cyclops67 Jan 13 Fantastically shot drama-biopic of Benito Mussolini. The many fourth wall breaks serve as a chilling view inside his psyche, unveiling an insincere, manipulative, and narcissistic personality bent on power at all costs. His personal life was expertly shown, with a tragic subplot with his long-suffering, yet loyal wife, seeking love and receiving nothing but abuse, physical and emotional. The only thing I would like to see was the true downfall of il Duce, from Gran Sasso to (the hinted at) public display in Milan. Overall, a thought provoking and powerful series of a twisted little dictator whose name has been carved in infamy.

The style won’t be to everyone’s liking but it worked for me - extraordinarily tense scenes mixed seamlessly with humour and excellent cinematography / lighting etc and a brilliantly cast set of actors and actresses all across the piece. I have to admit my knowledge of Mussolini was very limited to his proximity to the Hitler era - the fact that this series doesn’t even touch on that shows how much I have to learn. All in all a superb 8 hours of TV. And all the better for having to watch the screen to read the subtitles rather than the usual doomscrolling on your iPad whilst there’s some stuff you’re only really half concentrating on! See more René C Oct 23 I have never written a Rotten Tomatoes review before, but Mussolini: Son of the Century made it necessary. The series is a gripping study of how ambition turns into tyranny and belief into violence. Luca Marinelli’s performance is pitch perfect, capturing both Mussolini’s magnetism and his descent into madness. By the end, the fear in every face makes clear that the movement has escaped its maker’s control. It is haunting, beautifully crafted, and impossible to forget.

Siento que esta serie me entregó todo lo que esperaba de la película de Napoleón de Ridley Scott, porque presenta al personaje tan polémico de manera tan interesante que llegas a comprender porqué la gente lo siguió y cómo logró hacerse de todo el poder. Espero con muchas ansias que hagan la segunda temporada. See more Read all reviews
