This film of ours

This film of ours... ⠀ ⠀ Directed by master veteran Marco Bellocchio, #TheTraitor delivers the real-life story of Tommaso Buscetta, brilliantly portrayed by Pierfrancesco Favino, the informant in the Sicilian Mafia ‘Maxi’ Trial of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.⠀ ⠀ Bellocchio’s most accessible film for quite some time, it vividly recaptures the bizarre chaos of the courtroom (a specially-built bunker underneath the prison where all the defendants were being held) where literally dozens of Mafiosi, behind bars, faced proceedings ensemble.⠀ ⠀ If the film in its opening half hour seems to introduce you to too many people to keep track of, fear not, you will get all you need!⠀ ⠀ Available until 5th July • @CurzonCinemas • bit.ly/EIFF-AtHome
