LA GRAZIA
LA GRAZIA
Paulo Sorrentino’s latest unfolds in the waning days of a fictional Italian presidency, where Toni Servillo (reuniting actor and director, who last collaborated in THE GREAT BEAUTY) delivers a quietly magnetic performance as the aging President Mariano De Santis. Known derisively as “Cemento armato” (“reinforced concrete”) for his steely resolve, he now confronts loneliness, grief over his late wife, and an uncertain legacy. As his term draws to a close, De Santis must decide whether to issue pardons and pass a bold new policy bill—choices that will define his moral imprint.
Infused with humanity and subtle politics, Sorrentino’s latest is a delicate, emotionally resonant love story wrapped in statesmanship and introspection. Set against sumptuous Italian locales—from Turin’s historic palazzos to Rome’s iconic streets—LA GRAZIA promises an elegiac, quietly powerful study of power, purpose, and grace.
