(Paolo Sorrentino, Italy 2025, 133 min., DCP, Italian with English subtitles)
Writer-director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty, The Hand of God) is back with another tale featuring frequent collaborator Toni Servillo. La Grazia is a sweeping exploration of love, duty, and personal freedom. Servillo—winner of the Best Actor Award at the 2025 Venice Film Festival—stars as Italy’s outgoing president, Mariano De Santis, navigating moral and personal crossroads with the help of his confidante and daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti). With Sorrentino’s signature poetic vision and an evocative soundtrack, this heartfelt masterwork is an intimate meditation on fatherhood, conscience, and the enduring question: who owns our days?
