NOTES
Title from title frames
In this elegant and chilling story about world politics, the great Toni Servillo (*The Great Beauty*) defies expectations playing two roles, imbuing each character with nuance and astonishing attention to detail. In the first, he personifies political failure in the role of the disgraced ideologue and party leader, Enrico Oliveri. In the second, he embodies Oliveri’s shrewd but unhinged twin brother, who seizes control of the nation amidst the void of his brother’s disappearance. As director Roberto Andò shifts between the failure of the sincere intellectual and the heroics of a madman, he probes the driving forces behind our contemporary global political reality leaving behind a rich web of questions in this unpredictable and provocative thriller. Nominated for Best Director and Best Screenplay at the **Golden Globes, Italy.** Winner of Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor at the **David di Donatello Awards**. *"An ingenious blend of high drama and surprising whimsy." - Tom Keogh, **The Seattle Times***
