Italian director Paolo Sorrentino's film La Grazia opened the 82nd Venice Film Festival on 27 Aug 2025. The movie stars Toni Servillo and Anna Ferzetti. It tells the story of a fictional Italian president facing a moral choice about euthanasia and pardoning prisoners. The film is inspired by a real 2019 political event in Italy. Sorrentino hopes the movie will restart debate on assisted dying laws. La Grazia mixes serious themes with moments of humour. It competes for the Golden Lion prize alongside films by other famous directors. The festival runs until 6 Sep 2025 in Venice, Italy. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 21:30 IST; source: link)
