[IFFR'22] Toni Servillo's performance is superb, but devours part of the director's narrative successes, grabbing attention. Because the film isn't only a reflection on the world of art, but also offers a far from superficial portrait of the decline of fame and the passage of time. This vision of the dethroned comedian is much more accurate than the representation of his excessive personal and professional life.
