Italy

Latin Lover

Cristina Comencini

The five daughters of a womanising Italian movie star gather to officially commemorate his greatness – and privately sift through the family trash – in this fizzy ensemble comedy, which wittily references Italy’s movie past.

The Mafia Kills Only in Summer

La mafia uccide solo d’estate

Pierfrancesco Diliberto
