Mousy and diminutive, to the point that she practically disappears beneath a frizzy bramble of brown hair, Mimosa adores movies. In “,” she stumbles into one, drafted into being a featured extra on a swords-and-sandals epic shooting at Cinecittà. Doing so makes Mimosa a potential target in a meandering true-crime-adjacent period piece inspired by the death of Wilma Montesi, which plays like an Italian spin on the Black Dahlia case.
The year is 1953, and Montesi’s body has just been discovered on the beach. Her killer could well be a member of the film industry, or one of the many hangers-on — oily, entitled men with money — looking for girlfriends or a good time from among the parade of pretty ladies who pass through Cinecittàs gates. More than any of the flesh-and-blood actors, the main attraction here is the famous Rome-based studio where films such as “Ben Hur” and “La Dolce Vita” shot back in the day.
Mimosa goes along strictly as emotional support, but she’s “discovered” by leading lady Josephine Esperanto walking down a back corridor. Before she can even register what’s happening, Mimosa’s being outfitted in hair and makeup to play one of the pharaoh’s handmaidens . Costanzo indulges in a long excerpt from the movie in question, featuring lots of terrible acting — which may or may not be intentional.
