“Il Divo” – “the God” in Italian – was Italy’s seven-time prime minister and “senator for life,” Giulio Andreotti. The film from director Paolo Sorrentino about Andreotti, covering charges of Mafia ties, bribery and violence, is among the year’s most acclaimed, with New York critics breathlessly comparing it to films by Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Federico Fellini and Francis Ford Coppola. Overstatement? I don’t know, I haven’t seen the film yet, but that got my attention. There’s also an operatic boy band called Il Divo. And an ’80s band called Devo.
