A few years later, Margherita met Tommaso Marinetti, the founder of the Futurist movement and Umberto Boccioni, one of its major exponents, and began writing about their work and that of other young artists, who were anxious to start their careers, but as if inhibited by their own strong individuality, were unable to organize.

But more convincing indications of Sarfatti's preeminent influence are how Sarfatti later used Mussolini's letters, how Mussolini altered his diaries and that Sarfatti refused to reveal her part in the March on Rome.
I find it extraordinary that Sullivan believes Salvemini to have been "as subjective as Sarfatti in assessing Mussolini." As Mussolini's lover, Sarfatti may well have acquired insights which were not available to a historian, but lovers (or ex-lovers) are not noted for their objectivity.

Despite Robbins's clear efforts to find ironies – such as right-winger Sarfatti's friendship with leftie Rivera, or capitalistic Rockefeller's sponsorship of dangerously liberal art projects – the movie is too diagrammatic to be any fun.
Its moral architecture becomes all too obvious when Welles's troupe defiantly performs "Cradle" (with the cast members singing from the audience seats), while Rockefeller dispatches his workers to sledgehammer that commissioned mural after he learns Rivera has included Lenin in the picture.
