SPECIAL EVENT - IL DIVO - Mar 4th

Giulio Andreotti, Italian Prime Minister seven times between 1972 and 1992, was once described by Margaret Thatcher as having “a positive aversion to principle”. This stylish film, with an inscrutable performance from Toni Servillo as Andreotti, certainly has a complex plot but is cinematically extremely rewarding, even if you have only the dimmest notion of Italian politics. “An extraordinarily sinister portrait [of] Italy’s most significant politician of the post-war period” - Anthony Quinn, Independent on Sunday.
