Marco Risi’s comedy functions as a traditional European satire, focusing on the deconstruction of political prestige. The narrative structure prioritizes situational crisis management over the intentional integration of diverse identities. The film relies on established clichés of institutional scandal, centering the conflict on the Italian Premier and his immediate circle, which limits the scope of the narrative to a narrow depiction of the European ruling class. Ultimately, the production adheres to conventional comedic structures, favoring class and systemic satire over diverse identity-driven storytelling.
