Loro (2018)
NAME OF FILM: LORO
DIRECTOR(S): Paolo Sorrentino
STARRING: Toni Servillo, Elena Sofia Ricci, Riccardo Scamarcio
GENRE: Biography Film
SYNOPSIS: Lorooffers ample sex and drugs as it follows Sergio Morra (Riccardo Scamarcio), a power-hungry talent scout who installs himself in a villa next door to Berlusconi with a troupe of young escorts. But the debauchery stands in pointed contrast to the prime minister’s slow decline. Despite Morra’s determination to coax his neighbor to one of his ragers, Berlusconi is dealing with a quieter range of chamber dramas: a long-suffering wife who doesn’t believe in his limp vows of fidelity, a son with whom he’s trying to bond, and a mounting sense of helplessness and apathy as he feels power slipping through his fingers.
