“It just comes down to one question. Who owns our days?” Mubi has revealed the full official US trailer for La Grazia, the latest Italian film made by acclaimed filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino following his flop last year Parthenope. This one premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival a few months ago as the Opening Night Film in the competition. It won the Best Actor award for the lead star who really is tremendous in this film. A sweeping exploration of love, morality, and a man’s legacy. A widowed Italian president faces moral crises over euthanasia legislation and pardoning killers while grappling with his late wife’s infidelity during his final months in office. Toni Servillo stars as Italian President Mariano De Santis, who is on his final few months before leaving. The cast includes Anna Ferzetti, Orlando Cinque, Massimo Venturiello, and Milvia Marigliano. This is worth watching just for Servillo, whose layered performance features the grace and complexity necessary for this complex role. The rest of it – well that’s up to you. It received mixed reviews playing at the film festivals this fall and opens in limited theaters starting in December. View below.
Here’s the official US trailer (+ poster) for Paolo Sorrentino’s film La Grazia, direct from Mubi’s YouTube:
Mariano De Santis is the President of the Italian Republic. No connection to any real-life presidents; he is entirely a product of the author’s imagination. A widower and a Catholic, he has a daughter, Dorotea, a legal scholar like himself. As his term draws to a close, amid uneventful days, two final duties arise: deciding on two delicate petitions for a presidential pardon. True moral dilemmas, which become tangled, in ways that seem impossible to unravel, with his private life. Driven by doubt, he will have to decide. And, with a deep sense of responsibility, that is exactly what this remarkable Italian President will do. La Grazia is written and directed by the acclaimed Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, director of the films One Man Up, The Consequences of Love, The Family Friend, Il Divo, This Must Be the Place, The Great Beauty, Youth, Loro, The Hand of God, and Parthenope previously. Produced by Annamaria Morelli and Paolo Sorrentino, and by Andrea Scrosati for Fremantle, and Massimiliano Orfei, Luisa Borella, and Davide Novelli for PiperFilm. This initially premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival this fall. Mubi will release Sorrentino’s La Grazia in select US theaters starting December 5th, 2025 coming soon. Look any good?
