‘Sicilian Letters’ Review: Tony Servillo Leads A Ripping Yarn Of A Mob Movie – Venice Film Festival
Tony Servillo stars in directors Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza's ripping yarn of a mob movie - Venice Film Festival.
A few of the Gaetano goodfellas remain ready to bump off anyone who tries to rat, but there is no longer any real money coming in and the rightful next godfather, Matteo (Elio Germano) has gone into hiding, sleeping in a secret chamber behind a bookshelf in the elegant apartment of a former Mob wife (Barbora Bobulova) and entertaining himself with jigsaws. There is something old-fashioned in its celebration of the literary — which also, of course, serves to soften any nagging sense that we are actually in the company of truly evil men — reinforced by the sepia interiors with darkened windows, sheep sheds where shepherds watch their flocks by candlelight and the picturesque stone village. Screenwriters: Fabio Grassadonia, Antonio Piazza Cast: Toni Servillo, Elio Germano, Daniela Marra, Barbora Bobulova, Giuseppe Tantillo, Fausto Russo Alesi, Antonia Truppo, Tommaso Ragno, Betti Pedrazzi, Filippo Luna, Rosario Palazzolo, Roberto De Francesco, Vincenzo Ferrera, Maurizio Marchetti, Gianluca Zaccaria, Lucio Patanè Running time: 2 hr 2 mins
