"Reality," Robin Williams once said. "What a concept." But he had no way of knowing how that word would come to be defined in the '90s and through the turn of the millennium. How could he have known? Who would have ever thought that millions of people would tune in to watch other people just live?
In Matteo Garrone's "Reality," Aniello Arena plays Luciano, a man living his own life who is coaxed into auditioning for Italian "Big Brother," "Grande Fratello." At first he can't be bothered to show up, but when he does he is seduced into believing he actually has a shot.
