What Do You Know About Me (2009): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2009, What Do You Know About Me is a documentary film directed by Valerio Jalongo, running about 78 minutes. “In the last thirty years, millions of spectators have vanished - Inquiry on a great Italian mystery” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Until the 1970s, Italian cinema dominated the international scene, even competing with Hollywood. Then, in just a few years, came its rapid decline, the flight of our greatest producers, a crisis among the best writer-directors, the collapse of production. But what are the true causes and circumstances of this decline? In an attempt to provide an answer to this question, Di Me Cosa Ne Sai strives to depict this great cultural change. Begun as a loving examination of Italian cinema, the film transformed into a docu-drama that alternates between interviews with the great names of the past and fragments of cultural and political life of the last 30 years. It is a travel diary that shows Italy from north to south, through movie theatres; television-addicted kids; Berlusconi and Fellini; shopping centers; TV news editors; stories of impassioned film exhibitors and directors who fight for their films; and interviews with itinerant projectionists and great European directors.

Who’s in it. What Do You Know About Me stars Roberto Andò as Self, Francesca Archibugi as Self, Sandro Baldoni as Self and Marco Bellocchio as Self, among others.
