Once in the 50s (1951-1957) in the United States was very popular sitcom "I love Lucy", which starred Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz. Aaron Sorkin wrote and directed the film Being the Ricardos, 2021, in which he tells and shows how he was filming a sitcom while telling us (not very detailed) the story of the actors’ relationships.
The time frame of the film seems to be limited to one shooting week, but, of course, there are many references to other times. Particularly dramatic is the fact that in order to compromise these actors, one of the journalists unearthed a story that once at the age of 20, Lucille put a tick in the electoral box for communists, because after the death of her parents, she was brought up by a communist grandfather, and while everyone was checked by this notorious commission on anti-American activities. Lucille was summoned there, fully acquitted, but the tense expectation of something else, as it turned out, quite justified, accompanies them throughout the film. And about Desi in the yellow press there was an article about his adventures, which very alarmed Lucille, she loved him very much, it was at her insistence that he began to be filmed in this sitcom, although the producers in every possible way rejected this, because he was a Cuban, from the family of the former mayor of Santiago, who escaped from Cuba after the revolution of 1933, feared that his accent would disgust the American audience. Throughout the film, we watch all the vicissitudes and wait for what will happen. The actors are all good, as Lucille - Nicole Kidman, as Desi - Javier Bardem, perhaps a little older than their characters. Kidman there at all sometimes do not know whether it is makeup, or her plastic surgery brought herself to complete unrecognition and polished face, however, she plays there very well, as Bardem and other actors. The film itself is not bad, but for an amateur.
