Paolo Sorrentino returns with La grazia, a 2025 Italian drama built around Toni Servillo, wrapping a love story in the director's signature attention to mood and image.
What is La grazia about?
Set in Italy, La grazia follows the shape of a love story, though Sorrentino's approach tends to favor atmosphere, texture and character over conventional plot mechanics. The film runs a substantial 133 minutes, giving the story room to unfold at its own pace rather than rushing toward resolution. Toni Servillo anchors the film as its central presence, working once again with a director he has collaborated with across some of Italian cinema's most distinctive recent work. Around him, a cast led by Anna Ferzetti and Massimo Venturiello fills out a world where relationships, memory and place carry as much weight as dialogue. The result is a drama that trusts its audience to sit with feeling rather than plot twists.
About the cast
Toni Servillo takes the lead, joined by Anna Ferzetti, Massimo Venturiello, Milvia Marigliano, Orlando Cinque, Giuseppe Gaiani, Giovanna Guida and Alessia Giuliani. Servillo's long association with Sorrentino gives the film a familiar anchor, while the wider ensemble brings a mix of established and newer Italian screen talent to the story.
Context & significance
La grazia comes from Italy and carries Sorrentino's reputation for visually rich, deliberately paced filmmaking into a story framed simply as a love story set in his home country. At over two hours, the film has the space typical of his work to linger on setting and performance. For viewers drawn to Italian arthouse drama, it sits comfortably alongside the director's other collaborations with Servillo, built on mood and craftsmanship rather than plot-driven momentum.
