Il Divo

Italian writer and director Paolo Sorrentino turns the story of notorious Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti into a cinematic tour-de-force. Giulio Andreotti managed the impossible to survive in one of the most corrupt political systems in the world where the mafia is as powerful as the Vatican and nobody is as they seem. Sorrentino tries his best to keep the story accessible to non Italians. Toni Servillo gives a bravura performance as Andreotti. Sorrentino along with his cast and crew delivers a film with vibrant energy thanks to the spectacular cinematography, production design and editing amongst others.
