As part of the Italian Film Series 2017, a Journey Through Modern Italy, the Italian Cultural Institute is pleased to present Il Divo by Paolo Sorrentino
Cannes Jury Prize-winner of 2008, Il Divo is Paolo Sorrentino’s gem about the iconic post-war figure of Giulio Andreotti. Prime Minister no less than seven times, the real Andreotti faced accusations of conspiracy, Mafia involvement and state terror, even standing trial in 1996. Yet here the labyrinthine machinations of Italian politics are used to explore the inscrutable personality beneath the controversy. Effortlessly stylish, this is Italian cinema at its best (BFI).
