The Great Ambition

An ambitious political biopic about Enrico Berlinguer, Italy’s greatest contemporary left-wing political leader in the 1970s and 80s who, at a time of national crisis nearly led the Communist party into power. He is played, in a commanding performance, by Elio Germano. It’s a meticulously detailed film, its sense of authenticity compounded through the skilful weaving of archive footage into the drama.
