The extraordinary true strory of an Italian telesales queen who wound up in prison

Certificate: 12

Aggressive, over the top and in your face, Wanna Marchi was Italy’s queen of telesales. She made her name in the 1980s by using her ballsy persona to flog dubious slimming products. After court cases and fraud claims saw that business implode, she bounced back in the 1990s with an even more unlikely scheme, teaming up with her daughter Stefania Nobile to enjoy success on TV selling good luck charms and protective amulets.

This no-holds-barred Italian documentary charts her rollercoaster ride of rises and falls, successes and disasters, profits and prison time over four decades and more. Chockful of exuberant, shouty talking heads, it’s not a quiet watch, but it is a gripping one. (Four episodes)
