Il Divo

Paolo Sorrentino's brilliant film, perhaps his greatest, is a wild and entertaining portrait of Giulio Andreotti. Andreotti served as Italian prime minister seven times and came through every political crisis and rumour of corruption unscathed. It would have been easy to turn him into a figure of ridicule or a monster of Italian politics, but Sorrentino is more sophisticated than that. To make his point as clearly as possible, he draws a complex human character and sets a gallery of supporting characters in motion around him. Every cinematic tool works at full force here: creative cinematography, coherent editing, a flexible script and plenty of sharp humour, crowned by a towering performance from Toni Servillo. Thanks to all these qualities, this is a work that will stay in your memory for a long time.
