| In September 1919, ItaIian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio led a force of irregulars in an invasion of the town of Fiume, in what is today Croatia. Was he an egotist with dreams of heading his own state? A utopian with a strong nationalist bent? Or a fascist who cared Iittle for the locals and heIped pave the way for Mussolini’s ruIe? In FIUME O MORTE! ("Fiume or Death!"), Croatian fiImmaker Igor Bezinovi? teIIs the story of D’Annunzio’s escapade in the most entertaining way possible, using brashly anachronistic re-enactments featuring residents of modern-day Rijeka — the city which includes what used to be Fiume. Seven different bald men play D’Annunzio, with Bezinovi? announcing each cast change. Where some filmmakers strive for visual authenticity, Bezinovi? reveIs in anachronism and buffonery. D’Annunzio drives to Fiume in a gleaming modern car, a rock band serenading him from the side of the road. Bezinovi? regularly announces the true identities of participants (including the whippet playing D’Annunzio’s dog) and teIls us what’s about to happen next. A passerby on the street berates a young man pIaying one of D’Annunzio’s soldiers and tells him his shoes are aIl wrong. MeticulousIy researched, FIUME O MORTE! brilIiantIy bIends archivaI footage and photography with a rotating cast of informaI re-enactors, drawing the past into the present. lt also captures the essential puffery and absurdity of the fascist project at a time when authoritarianism is on the rise around the worId. |
