Early-20th-century Italian warrior-poet Gabriele D'Annunzio. A model for Mussolini who ruled Rijeka, Croatia, with an iron fist, D'Annunzio's 16-month reign left such a legacy that current denizens (street-cast in a brilliant montage) are more than a little willing to play-act as his soldiers.

One of the film's funniest moments comes when we see three young men craning towards the camera on a Rijeka street, juxtaposed with their period counterparts popping up like Zelig in front of a military parade. Go to Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) Apr 10
