Synopsis

In Paolo Sorrentino's (The Great Beauty) bold and timely new drama, a widowed Italian president faces moral crises while also grappling with his late wife's infidelity during his final months in office.

Toni Servillo stars as Mariano De Santis, President of the Italian Republic. A widower and a Catholic, De Santis has a daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti), a legal scholar like himself and his close confidante. As his term draws to a close, amid seemingly uneventful days, two final duties arise: deciding on two delicate petitions for a presidential pardon. These are true moral dilemmas which become tangled, in ways that seem impossible to unravel, with his private life. Mulling over his legacy, De Santis must decide between his duty to the Church or the people in his final act as Italy's president.

Reviews

Director Paolo Sorrentino is on irresistible form in this wonderful film.
The Times UK
Sorrentino has made some beauties in his career. This is one of his best.
Deadline
Toni Servillo is magnificent in Paolo Sorrentino’s exquisite character study.
The Hollywood Reporter
A stylish, soigné film, ruminative and enigmatic.
The Guardian
As always with the director, the level of craftsmanship is dazzling. La Grazia is a visually luxuriant film with a highly seductive sheen, but it’s the movie’s warmth and emotion, its spirit of forgiveness, understanding and hard-won wisdom that creeps up on you.
The Hollywood Reporter
