The Profile

Erik Gandini is an Italian-Swedish documentary filmmaker known for incisive, stylized works on power, media, and society, including Surplus (2003), Videocracy (2009), and The Swedish Theory of Love (2015).

Italian-born and Sweden-based, Gandini directs social and political documentaries. Videocracy (2009) examines Italian commercial TV culture under Silvio Berlusconi through figures like Ricky (an aspiring performer), talent agent Lele Mora, and paparazzo-entrepreneur Fabrizio Corona.

Three DeBaser reviews probe Erik Gandini’s Videocracy and its anatomy of Italian commercial TV under Berlusconi. They follow Ricky the aspiring performer, agent Lele Mora, and paparazzo Fabrizio Corona to map a ‘videocracy’ of appearance and power. Takes range from shocked and caustic to cautiously appreciative, debating the film’s necessity and its thesis. Ratings swing from 2/5 to 4/5.
