The great Toni Servillo is at the top of his game playing Silvio Berlusconi in Paolo Sorrentino’s baroque, state-of-the-nation epic. Servillo’s towering performance captures the sly charm and the grotesque menace of a larger than life figure with an insatiable hunger for power. Riccardo Scamarcio co-stars as Sergio, a seedy, ambitious Puglian property developer with his sights sets on Rome and access to Berlusconi’s inner circle. A powerful character study told with all the cinematic verve, grandiose emotion and luscious style that have become Sorrentino trademarks. GFF19
