Overview

One of the key factors in Italian unification was the overthrow in 1860 of Francesco, the King of Naples and the two Sicilies, who went into elegant but impoverished exile in Rome with his Queen, Maria Sofia. This seriocomic drama follows the deposed royals as they adapt to their new lives. The former king has recognized the political finality of his deposition, but his queen has taken to traveling in men's clothing all over Italy trying to foment an uprising to restore them to the throne. She is also frantic to have a baby, an heir, but the king has become celibate as a kind of homage to his beloved mother; he spends all his time lobbying the Vatican to get her declared a saint.

    Though at times I did quite enjoy this, I will admit to not always knowing what was going on! It blurs the lines between biopic, history and pantomime to the point where it is often quite difficult to discover just who is sane and who is not. There certainly was a King Francesco II of Naples and the Two Sicilies (Giancarlo Giannini) who was married to Maria Sofia (Ornella Muti) and they were deposed by Garibaldi before Vittorio Emanuele incorporated their realm into the newly founded kingdom of Italy, but as to the rest of this drama - well it's a speculative romp through the caricature of char...
