Fandango Takes Sales on Andrea Segre’s ‘The Great Ambition,’ Starring Elio Germano as Italian Communist Party Leader Enrico Berlinguer (EXCLUSIVE)
Fandango Film Sales has boarded Andrea Segre's 'The Great Ambition,' starring Elio Germano as Italian Communist Party leader Enrico Berlinguer.
Elio Germano, who won the actor top honors in Cannes with Daniele Luchetti’s “Our Life,” plays Berlinguer, who led the Italian Communist Party (PCI) from 1972 until his death in 1984. “He was the Secretary in the 1970s of the most important Communist party in the western world, with over 1,700,000 card-holding members and more than 12 million voters, united by the great ambition of achieving socialism within a democracy.” Segre, in his directors’ statement, calls the film “a journey through a piece of our history that I did not live through and which I learned to understand,” adding that for him it also marked “the discovery of a profound dialogue with the open questions of our present time and our future which this memory is unexpectedly able to engage in.”
