Italian Film Club at Nerve Cinema, a series of ongoing screenings showcases Italian culture and Italian language through contemporary and classic titles from Italian cinema.
From Academy and BAFTA Award–winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, La Grazia is a sweeping exploration of love, duty, and personal freedom. Featuring a virtuoso performance by Toni Servillo – winner of the Best Actor Award at Venice Film Festival – this heartfelt masterwork is a profound meditation on the choices that define a life. Shot with Sorrentino's signature poetic eye and enriched by an evocative, immersive soundtrack, it is a cinematic experience as visually sumptuous as it is emotionally resonant.
Love. Doubt. Responsibility. Fatherhood. Ethics. These are the forces that shape Mariano De Santis, the outgoing President of Italy. As his tenure nears its end, De Santis faces wrenching decisions – both political and deeply personal. Amid these moral quandaries, he must confront his own conscience and seek guidance from those closest to him, including his daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti). Together, they confront the timeless question: who owns our days?
