Academy Award-winner Paolo Sorrentino returns to the Venice Film Festival, opening the 82nd edition with LA GRAZIA, his sweeping exploration of love, morality, and one man’s legacy. Sorrentino’s latest masterwork is powered by a magnetic performance from longtime collaborator Tony Servillo (THE GREAT BEAUTY, THE HAND OF GOD), as the President of Italy.

Sorrentino’s latest resplendent drama has been greeted with rave reviews, including from The Hollywood Reporter’s chief critic, David Rooney, who said, “By the director’s standards, this is a sober and distinctly mature film, centered by the unwavering composure of Servillo’s De Santis. But it’s not without the customary creative arias, the witty humor and visual delights that have distinguished Sorrentino’s best work.”

LA GRAZIA exclusively in US theaters December 5.
