About La Grazia

Director Paolo Sorrentino is reunited with actor Toni Servillo as a fictional president reaching the end of his final term in office.

Widower and ex-judge, President Mariano De Santis reflects on his past as he grapples with the next chapter of his life. Mourning the loss of his wife, he lives a secluded existence within the grand presidential palace, assisted by his lawyer daughter Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti) who is frequently exasperated by the time it takes for him to make decisions. As the end of his presidency approaches, final duties and moral dilemmas become tangled with his private life.

Sorrentino’s stylish drama is full of visual flair, dry humour and his distinctive use of music. It is also a poignant meditation on ageing and ethics, anchored by Servillo’s central performance.

  2. This image has a striking, ritualistic atmosphere. It shows five figures standing in what appears to be a nighttime forest ceremony. The scene is dramatically lit with flames on the ground and tall wooden posts or totems in the background, some adorned with what look like starburst decorations. The central figure in the foreground wears black clothing with chains and a cross necklace, with shoulder-length blonde hair, hands positioned as if in prayer or ritual gesture. The four figures behind are arranged in a line, with the leftmost wearing red, and the others in darker clothing. The rightmost figure appears to be holding something up.
