2010 film by Franco Maresco

1999 film by Daniele Ciprì, Franco Maresco

This film tells the story of three defeats: Berlusconi’s political and human defeat in his “twilight”, the one of Ciccio Mirra, Berlusconi’s unconditional supporter, deeply rooted in an ancient culture that dies hard, and the director’s artistic defeat in an Italy that recognised itself in this “Berlusconian culture” for a long time, and probably still does.

由Dugong Films，Lucky Red负责制作，故事与60-70年代的意大利艺术家卡尔梅洛·贝内（Carmelo Bene）有关，选角已经结束，预计于2024年上映。

Set in apocalyptic Palermo peopled by ignorant, inbred, flatulent gluttons and deformed Mafiosi, a dark comedy which centers on a poor family of three-middle aged brothers who are coerced, by local Mafia honchos, into hiding a mysterious old man known as the Uncle from Brooklyn in their home.

2017年，Franco Maresco在为摄影师Letizia Battaglia所做的一项工作中找到了灵感。如今已经八十多岁的Letizia，用她的照片来讲述黑手党的斗争故事，并被列入“纽约时报2017年最有影响力女性十一人”。他们共同合作拍摄了这样一个人物：Ciccio Mira，街头派对的“传奇”组织者。 他曾在马勒斯科2014年的纪录片《西西里故事》中担任主角，在与Maresco分开的几年里，Mira似乎正在寻求救赎，他的言论触犯了“老派黑手党”的旧日情绪。当他们参加纪念黑手党斗争烈士庆祝活动时，Maresco的怀疑主义与Letizia的激情反抗形成了鲜明对比。
