Wise tenderness, playfulness, and a profound ethical dilemma run through the latest film by the acclaimed director and his longtime leading actor. On the desk of the Italian President Mariano de Santis (as always, the amazing Toni Servillo), whose term is nearing its end, lie two unusual requests for clemency. His attention is further divided by a controversial euthanasia bill promoted by his daughter and close aide. Sorrentino’s signature visual opulence is here more restrained, mirroring his protagonist: an admired, aging man of refined manners who reflects on the folly of human behavior with a mix of melancholy and subtle irony.
