My Take
Toni Servillo is, to my mind, one of the finest actors working in European cinema. Winning the European Film Award for Best Actor twice, on the strength of Gomorrah, Il Divo, and The Great Beauty, places him in rare company, and four David di Donatello wins only underline it. What I treasure most is his stillness; he can command a frame without raising his voice, telling whole stories with his eyes. That he is equally a theatre director gives his screen work a stage-trained gravity. Rooted in Campania yet utterly cosmopolitan, he embodies the dignity of Italian filmmaking.
Overview
