BAFTA and Oscar-winning director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty, The Hand of God) reunites with his The Great Beauty star Toni Servillo in this stylish, thoughtful new work, La Grazia (‘The Pardon’).
Love. Doubt. Responsibility. Fatherhood. Ethics. These are the forces that shape Mariano De Santis, the outgoing President of Italy. As his tenure nears its end, De Santis faces wrenching decisions – both political and deeply personal. Amid these moral quandaries, he must confront his own conscience and seek guidance from those closest to him, including his daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti).
A wintry film about power, legacy and the pleasures and sadnesses of old age, Sorrentino brings a grand vision and his customary flair to this compelling and evocative chamber drama.
