I am always searching for thought provoking historical films to watch. A couple of years back I reviewed a sprawling Italian film Sanguepazzo (Wild Blood) about the sordid lives of Italian film stars Valenti and Freida, worth a watch. http://dansmoviereport.blogspot.com/2011/04/sanguepazzo-movie-review-wild-blood.html
