Synopsis
A baroque, rock-and-roll dissection of the enigmatic, stoic Christian Democratic prime minister Giulio Andreotti—nicknamed 'The Fox', 'The Black Pope', and 'Beelzebub'—who dominated post-war Italian politics for four decades, chronicling his seventh government in 1992 amid rampant Mafia assassinations, banker suicides, and P2 Masonic lodge conspiracies before his historic trial for Mafia collusion. Paolo Sorrentino's Cannes Jury Prize-winning visual hurricane starring Toni Servillo.
