I think......

I think that was an intentional result of his approach to the part. The highly stylized portrayal of a such a character's evolving psychology over 30 years. All the major characters inhabited dramatic parody. All of them are brilliantly insane and brittle to various degrees. This is a very complex, obsessively crafted movie on every technical level.
To my eye both Gomarrah and Il Divo - especially the latter - brought something fresh and new to Italian film. They are culture laid bare, in a most personal and contemporary way. I was reminded of Rocha.
I've watched both multiple times and they still deliver an absolutely delicious and weighty experience. Both are a perfect conjunction of art and entertainment.
Gomorrah is probably the more "approachable". What a great bookend for The Godfather it makes. No great character to match Brando but it immediately and certainly projects itself into that league of storytelling.
Steiger is an old favorite. His barely contained nerves-on-sleeve intensity fits in with the Italians well. I was unaware of that film/performance until a couple years ago.
