Kenneth Turan writes in his capsule review of "Il Divo": Il Divo If you plan to see "Il Divo," and you should, be prepared to hold onto your seats. This story of veteran Italian politician Giulio Andreotti, variously known as the Sphinx, the Hunchback and the Black Pope, is simultaneously exhilarating and confounding, dazzling and confusing. If you don't think a film about Italian politics could possibly interest you, Paolo Sorrentino's virtuoso direction and an uncanny performance by Toni Servillo, one of Italy's best actors, will change your mind.

Synopsis Il Divo
Il Divo tells this story of mind-blowing corruption and chaos at the highest level of politics with a sardonic wit and cinematic bravado. Bringing youthful energy and boldness to a tale of Shakespearean proportions, director Paolo Sorrentino firmly establishes himself as one of the most exciting and original young filmmakers in Europe today.
