This big, handsome picture directed by the Italian auteur Marco Bellocchio (Fists in His Pocket) is a mafia drama based on a sensational trial that brought 475 mafioso into court and went on for six years, riveting the nation. For the first time, several bosses, in particular Tommaso “the traitor” Buscetta, cooperated with the prosecution, shining a light on the hitherto secret workings of the world in which they operated. Played the Cannes and Toronto festivals.
