La Grazia

An intransigent and overly cautious president is about to finish his term. Alone in the corridors of the presidential palace, mourning the loss of his wife and listening to hip-hop, he must make a series of bold decisions before returning to civilian life—a couple of pardons and a pioneering bill—that will seal his legacy. An elegant, restrained portrait of a ruler in decline, facing old age, power, and moral obligation. See More

The Hand of God

This is the story of Fabietto Schisa, a boy growing up in the tumultuous Naples of the 1980s. Sorrentino returns to his hometown to tell his most personal tale of fate and family, sports and cinema, love and loss. A story full of unexpected joys, such as the arrival of football legend Diego Maradona, and an equally unexpected tragedy.
