Internationally released Director's Cut of "Loro 1" and "Loro 2", which were released separately as two movies in Italy. The film talks about the group of businessmen and politicians – the Loro (Them) from the title – who live and act near to media tycoon and politician Silvio Berlusconi in the years between 2006 and 2009.
For anyone drawn to Paolo Sorrentino's signature blend of visual splendor and human frailty, *Loro* is an essential watch. This internationally released Director's Cut plunges you headfirst into the opulent, morally ambiguous world orbiting media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi. It’s not merely a historical recounting, but a sprawling, decadent character study of power’s intoxicating pull and its corrupting influence, seen through the eyes of the ambitious "Loro" (Them) who surround him. Toni Servillo’s transformative performance as Berlusconi is undoubtedly a central pillar, but it’s the rich ensemble cast, portraying a carnival of sycophants, opportunists, and dreamers, that truly makes this film a compelling, often darkly humorous spectacle. Sorrentino's masterful direction paints a cynical yet mesmerizing portrait of an era, brimming with breathtaking visuals, a pulsating soundtrack, and an undercurrent of existential longing. Fans of bold, visually rich cinema, intricate political dramas, or simply those curious about the seductive yet corrosive nature of unchecked power, will find *Loro* an immersive and unforgettable experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
