“The unknowability of life is beautiful, but so too is our desire to know. To be human, La Grazia seems to say, is to fight and lose against uncertainty, and the to fight and lose some more.”—Bilge Ebiri, Vulture
From Academy and BAFTA Award–winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, La Grazia is a sweeping exploration of love, duty, and personal freedom. Toni 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? 2025, Italy, DCP, in Italian with English subtitles, 130 minutes. Recommended for 15+.
