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.
Paolo Sorrentino said: “I am extremely happy that La Grazia will be travelling around the world thanks to our two great partners, MUBI and The Match Factory, and feel fortunate to be able to count on their incredible expertise.”
Efe Cakarel, Founder and CEO of MUBI commented: "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."
