Overview

Italy, early '90s. Calm, clever and inscrutable, politician Giulio Andreotti has been synonymous with power for decades. He has survived everything: electoral battles, terrorist massacres, loss of friends, slanderous accusations; but now certain repentant mobsters implicate him in the crimes of Cosa Nostra.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut political thriller that traces the slow unraveling of Italy's most untouchable power broker as the mob's testimony threatens to expose decades of moral compromise. Sorrentino transforms a historical reckoning into an almost Shakespearean meditation on the weight of a life spent evading accountability.
