To begin, there are two separate movies here. I watched the first disk in English and would have voted a 4. I watched the second in Italian with English subtitles and thus the 8. It is altogether more powerful and effective in the Italian. The passion just doesn't come through in the dubbed English. This is a first class production, a brilliant recapturing of the Europe that was destroyed in "The Great War." The costumes, the elegant surroundings and especially, the wonderful old trains are a delight. It's all photographed with a superb eye for moods and colours and angles. Interestingly, this paints a somewhat sympathetic picture of Mussolini who usually is regarded as a demagogue and a buffoon. Banderas gives us a man of conviction, principle and passion. My only disappointment was the quick ending. I had expected the film to take us through the Lateran accord, the invasion of Ethopia, World War II, the relationship with Hitler and Il Duce's grisly end. All that is covered in about 30 seconds at the end. A sequel in the works, perhaps? In any case, this is a fine piece with some outstanding performers and is yet another example of how the European genre of cinema surpasses Hollywood in taste and style.
