Si intitola Me Ne Frego il documentario dell'Istituto Luce a cura della linguista Valeria Della Valle e del regista Vanni Gandolfo, presentato alla Mostra del Cinema di Venezia e dedicato alla "bonifica" fascista della lingua italiana. Un efficace viaggio nel tempo, il recupero di un'Italia dimenticata, ridicola nel suo purismo nazionalistico ma drammatica per la violenza dei divieti.
