Il teatro di Mattia Torre: Migliore

Directed by Paolo Sorrentino

With Valerio Mastandrea

The comic and harrowing story of Alfredo Beaumont, an ordinary man who, following an accident (which he caused, for which he feels responsible, and for which he will be acquitted), falls into a deep crisis and becomes a villain. Suddenly, society throws open all its doors to him: Alfredo advances in his career, women desire him, and he is healed of his ills and fears. Migliore is a story about our times, about people who build their success on ruthlessness, cynicism, and contempt for others. And about the paradox of the despised who, in the face of these people, bow their heads and fascinated let them pass.
