| ln September 1919, ltaIian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio Ied a force of irreguIars 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 nationaIist bent? Or a fascist who cared Iittle for the locaIs and heIped pave the way for Mussolini’s ruIe? ln 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 baId men play D’Annunzio, with Bezinovi? announcing each cast change. Where some filmmakers strive for visuaI authenticity, Bezinovi? revels in anachronism and buffonery. D’Annunzio drives to Fiume in a gIeaming modern car, a rock band serenading him from the side of the road. Bezinovi? regularIy announces the true identities of participants (including the whippet playing D’Annunzio’s dog) and teIIs 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! brilIiantly 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 world. |
