Waterford Film For All – La Grazia
As President of Italy Mariano De Santis starts to reach the end of his term, he reflects on his past, whilst grappling with one final duty – to decide whether to grant a presidential pardon on two prisoner petitions. Paolo Sorrentino reunites with his The Great Beauty lead actor Toni Servillo, to deliver this intelligent, stylish and darkly humourous drama.
Reviews
“Paolo Sorrentino has rediscovered his voice, his wan humour and his flair for the surreal and sensational set piece; …It is a dry comedy of grief and regret.”- The Guardian
“Paolo Sorrentino gets his groove back with this compelling political drama.”- The Irish Times
