King Bibi explores Benjamin Netanyahu's rise to power, relying solely on archival footage of his media performances over the years: from his days as a popular guest expert on American TV, through his public confession of adultery, and his mastery of the art of social media. From one studio to another, "Bibi" evolved from Israel's great political hope, to a controversial figure whom some perceive as Israel's savior, and others - as a cynical politician who will stop at nothing to retain his power.

Anyone knows when part 2 of this documentary, "Inmate Bibi" is due to be released ? To be clear, you break the law, you pay the price, it's really that simple.
"King Bibi" is an interesting view on Former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's politics and public life following the man through extensive archive images from TV interviews and stories, showing a man of unlimited power, controvery and some good actions to his right-wing base. I didn't know much about him but this documentary really showed him as a figure of controversy, popular with the crowd but considered despicable and unfavorable in the Israeli media, which painted him as a lone man who kept getting involved in personal and political scandals but having the majority of the people supporting his political efforts and his opposition in negotiating with the OLP - which sometimes he forced himself to it to please American politics. After seeing this man most of the time refusing media coverage of him and a strong sense of speech that seems defensive and quite unedecated (for a man who was trained in speech patterns, I end up not liking much of him. It's your typical right-wing figure in the likes of Trump and Bolsonaro, figures who refuse to fight the microphones and think they are telling the truth all of the time). However, it's easy to recognise why he appealed so much with the crowd as a strong leader and sort of charismatic figure that hold on to power more than any man in Israeli political scenary. The unusual presentation was really impressive and good all along without the man and the usual talking heads documentaries has to show. It's more of journalistic approach and it manages to not be one-sided. It's shows Netanyahu's true facades in good times and bad times, showing his accomplishments and failures, his good and bad side. The problems lies in the technical aspects of it all with the quiet narration by Alon Aboutboul, that sometimes gets stomped heavily thanks to a loud foreground noise from the news images, and at times it's really hard to hear what's he saying and that ruined the view from me at parts. Other than that, the film delivery a very summarized view of a conflicted politician and I won't be surprised if he tries another attempt to return as a Prime Minister for another term. He's really loved by the people - there's one scene where people cry at his electoral loss and many other moments where the crowd explode into applauses when he's on TV shows where the host has to ask the crowd to stop jeering at him because the interview couldn't be conducted properly. On a final analysis I think he'll go down as an important presence in Israel politics who left his mark against terrorism and as a man of (certain) people. 9/10.
