Let’s watch "LA GRAZIA” by PAOLO SORRENTINO (CHICAGO FILM FEST.) @ AMC + dinner
Details
Sorrentino is known for his Oscar Winner The Great Beauty. In his new film La Grazia,** he offers a thoughtful and melancholic character study, exploring themes of aging, loneliness, power, and the conflict between law and mercy. The title "La Grazia" itself holds multiple meanings in Italian, including "grace" and "pardon," which are central to the plot. Toni Servillo, the protagonist of The Great Beauty, in La Grazia plays a fictional Italian president. Servillo received the award for best actor at the recent Venice Film Festival. He was hailed for his subtle and profound portrayal of a man grappling with the end of his career and the existential questions of life, grief, and legacy.
