Giulio Andreotti is one of the most powerful politicians of the Italian post-war era. Twenty-two times minister; seven as head of the government, AndreottiÆs life and political career have been crossed by both triumphs and scandals, with its unflappable protagonist never losing his temper or his renowned sense of irony. Director Paolo Sorrentino (THE CONSEQUENCES OF LOVE, THE FAMILY FRIEND) provides a portrayal of the adventurous and somewhat spectacular life of Giulio Andreotti, that is farcical and committed, surreal yet profound. Showing off all his visionary talent, Sorrentino builds a film that is sharply entertaining as it is thought-provoking and lush. IL DIVO won the Jury Prize at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.
