Culture Unbridled parties pop satires, the best musical scenes at Paolo Sorrentino. Visual genius, Paolo Sorrentino is an esthete but also a music lover. On the occasion of the launch of "The New Pope", this January 13 on Canal +, back on the best musical interludes of the Italian filmmaker.

Dressing session in "The Young Pope"

Injecting a dose of pop into the solemnity of papal life, Paolo Sorrentino gives us one of the best scenes from The Young Pope in episode 5. Preparing to speak to the cardinals in the Sistine Chapel, Pie XIII (Jude Law) put his paraphernalia piece by piece on the piece "I'm Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO. Between the seriousness of the ambient and the vanity of the act - the highlight of the show remaining this tiara observed with a brilliant eye - this interlude condenses everything that makes the genius of the series: an art of editing and shifting.

Ultimate Catharsis in "This Must Be The Place"

The title of the Talking Heads not only gives its name to the film - undoubtedly one of the most criticized by the Italian filmmaker - it also unfolds in all its forms in the soundtrack. Cheyenne, a retired rock star with a false air of Robert Smith, sets out on a road trip to the United States to find an Auschwitz guardian. Extremely cut up, Sean Penn is the pinnacle of the sad clown in this scene playing brilliantly on perspectives.

Orgy under influence in "Silvio and the others"

To get Silvio Berlusconi's attention, pimp Sergio Morra (Riccardo Scamarcio) is having a huge party in the Sardinian villa opposite that of the politician. A show of debauchery that marries the variations of a trip under MDMA - a narrator even describing its effects facing the camera - from sensuality exacerbated to the descent.

Paloma Faith in "Youth"

The tenth feature by the Italian director takes place in a Swiss spa where two cinema veterans (Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel) come to find refuge. The obsession with passing time and the youthfulness of society is at the heart of Youth, but the filmmaker does not give up his humor. Here he is playing the self-parody card, inserting a fake clip from pop star Paloma Faith, like a snub to those who decry his vulgarity. A process he also uses in Silvio and the others, imagining a campaign clip with a horde of little girls

Festive interlude in "La Grande Bellezza"

Paolo Sorrentino loves nothing more than filming the holidays, his most flamboyant feature film contains a spectacular one. No wonder, the hero of La Grande Bellezza (Jep Gambardella aka the fantastic Toni Servillo) is a dandy socialite making Rome his territory. Here, the filmmaker indulges in his passions: linger on the bodies, the characters populating the world of the night, and portray drunkenness in its most spectacular and grotesque aspects.

The first minutes of "Il Divo"

Paolo Sorrentino’s cinema is also a love for opening scenes. The most emblematic remains undoubtedly that of Il Divo, biopic of politician Giulio Andreotti: a series of bloody settling of accounts on "Toop Toop" by Cassius. Special mention also for the sheep of Silvio and the others.
