Western forever!

 Interessante western di Giovanni La Parola:  "Il mio corpo vi seppellirà" (2021), ambientato nella Sicilia dell'Ottocento. Buona visione!

Castellitto o Germano? difficile scegliere!

We loved Elio Germano's performance as poet Giacomo Leopardi in IL GIOVANE FAVOLOSO (2014) by Mario Martone. Now we can appreciate him even more in his role as painter Antonio Ligabue in VOLEVO NASCONDERMI (2020) by Giorgio Diritti. 

Then watch Giorgio Castellitto playing poet and vate Gabriele d'Annunzio in IL CATTIVO POETA (2020) by Gianluca Jodice. You will not be disappointed.

Castellitto and Germano are two of the best actors we have now in Italy, so you can't miss their movies!

Have a safe 2021 everybody!
