The Borgias
Sex. Power. Murder. Amen. “The Borgias” from the creative mind of Academy Award winner Neil Jordan portraits the sordid saga of one of the most remarkable and legendary families in history. Set in 15th century Italy at the height of the Renaissance, “The Borgias” chronicles the corrupt rise of patriarch Rodrigo Borgia (Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons) to the papacy, where he proceeds to commit every sin in the book to amass and retain power, influence and enormous wealth for himself and his family.
