MUBI, the global film distributor, streaming service and production company, is acquiring "La Grazia", written and to be directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino ("Parthenope", "The Great Beauty"). Starring Toni Servillo ("The Hand of God", "The Great Beauty"), in his seventh collaboration with Sorrentino, the film will begin production in Spring 2025 in Italy.
MUBI is acquiring worldwide rights excluding Italy and will retain all rights in North America, Latin America, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Benelux, Spain, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand, with theatrical release plans to be announced in the coming months. The Match Factory will sell the remaining territories. "La Grazia" is a Fremantle film produced by Annamaria Morelli for The Apartment (a Fremantle company) and by Sorrentino’s own Numero 10, in association with PiperFilm. The film will be distributed in Italy by PiperFilm.
Efe Cakarel, Founder and CEO of MUBI praised the Director: "Paolo Sorrentino has always been a master of cinematic poetry, but La Grazia is something truly special—profound, melancholic, and wickedly sharp in its contemplation of power, influence, and the weight of history—all told with Sorrentino’s singular elegance and wit. We at MUBI are honored to be the home for this film and cannot wait to share its brilliance with audiences worldwide," expressed.
