IL MUTO DI GALLURA

Gallura, the mid-1800s. The feud between the Vasa and Mamia families – which really happened, leaving seventy people dead – is underway. Bastiano Tansu, a real-life character, is a deaf-mute since birth, mistreated and marginalized ever since, and his fury and his amazing aim are put to ‘good’ use in the feud. His blood ties and the murder of his brother Michele drive him to join forces with one of the two leaders of the factions, Pietro Vasa, who turns him into the most-feared assassin of the entire faida. When the Peace of Aggius puts and end to the bloodshed, Bastiano seems to have found peace himself in his love for a pastor's daughter, but in a violent and superstitious world that already labeled him the devil's son when he was just a boy, someone like him cannot be found innocent. screenplay Matteo Fresi Carlo Orlando cinematography Gherardo Gossi editing Valeria Sapienza music Paolo Baldini Dubfiles with the collaboration of Alfredo Puglia and Filippo Buresta sound Fabio Melorio production design Alessandro Vannucci costumes Monica Simeone cast Andrea Arcangeli (Bastiano Tansu) Marco Bullitta (Pietro Vasa) Giovanni Carroni (Antonio Mamia) Syama Rayner (Gavina) Aldo Ottobrino (Amedeo) Fulvio Accogli (Michele Tansu) Nicola Pannelli (Don Augusto) producers Domenico Procacci Laura Paolucci production Fandango with Rai Cinema Matteo Fresi received a degree in modern art history in 2005.

Milan in the late 1970s. Pierluigi Torregiani, a jeweler and a self-made man, endures a robbery attempt during which a young thief is killed. It wasn’t Torregiani who pulled the trigger, yet he is accused of being a ‘bourgeois vigilante”.

MY NAME IS ALFRED HITCHCOCK

2022 marks the hundred-year anniversary of Alfred Hitchcock’s first feature. A century on, Hitchcock remains one of the most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. But how does his vast body of work and legacy hold up in today’s society? Mark Cousins tackles this question and looks at the auteur with a new and radical approach: through the use of his own voice.

Three months pregnant and barely present in her job as a driving instructor, Farzaneh is convinced she’s caught Jalal in an affair. When they discuss it, he’s adamant about his alibi, reminding her that he was miles away at the time.
