THE GREAT AMBITION Movie

THE GREAT AMBITION Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: Elio Germano delivers a standout performance as Enrico Berlinguer, the former leader of the Italian Communist Party, in Andrea Segre’s moving and meticulous biopic.

1970s. The Italian Communist Party (PCI) is the western world's most influential chapter, with over 1.7 million card-holding members and more than 12 million voters united by the great ambition of achieving socialism within a democracy.

Covering the period from 1973-1978 when Secretary Berlinguer (Germano) finds himself caught by the tides of history and the political convulsions, THE GREAT AMBITION is a compelling portrait of the popular leader at his peak.

Germano, who took home the award for best actor at the Rome Festival, is excellent as a man who, in scenes both spectacularly public and intimately personal, gracefully bears the weight of the world on his shoulders while trying to preserve the integrity of his convictions.
