PODCAST | Samantha Sartori interviews Marco Bellocchio, director of the film The Traitor.

Marco Bellocchio – whose debut film Fists in the Pocket premiered at the 3rd New York Film Festival (1965) – and star Pierfrancesco Favino brought their unconventional mob drama “The Traitor” to the festival. We met Marco Belloccio during the festival and with the help of his interpreter Michael Moore we talked about the movie Italy’s Oscar entry will open on January 31st 2020 at Film at Lincoln Center, New York.

The Traitor: Pierfrancesco Favino commands the screen throughout this decades-spanning true-life narrative as Tommaso Buscetta, the mafia boss turned informant who helped take down a large swath of organized crime leaders in Sicily in the eighties. In one fully realized, impressively staged scene after another, including the notorious Maxi Trial, overseen by Judge Giovanni Falcone (Fausto Russo Alesi), Bellocchio interrogates received ideas about loyalty that so many other movies of this genre use to romanticize their characters. This is a very different kind of mafia drama, one that has the structure of a procedural but coasts on the waves of psychological portraiture. A Sony Pictures Classics release.

Once again, Film at Lincoln Center has welcomed Pietro Marcello’s movies with great enthusiasm. This year it was Martin Eden which was selected for Main Slate at New York Film Festival and we met Pietro during the festival and with the help of his interpreter Lilia Pino Blouin we talked about the movie and how it resonated with the complex and diverse tastes of the New York audience.

Martin Eden: When unskilled laborer Martin Eden meets Elena, the daughter of a wealthy industrial family, it’s love at first sight. The well-educated, refined young woman soon becomes an obsession for Martin who hopes that his dreams of becoming a writer will help him rise above his humble origins to be able to marry Elena. With determination and at the cost of great hardship, Martin sets out to get the education that his class has never allowed him to receive. Finding support in an older friend, left-wing intellectual Russ Brissenden, Martin soon gets involved in socialist circles, leading not only to political reawakening and destructive anxiety, but also to a conflict with Elena and her bourgeois world.
