Mar. 18 – From the Netherlands to Milan, and beyong, to Calabria: but really from the peaks of the Aspromonte, where everything originates and ends. “Anime Nere” is the story of a Calabria crime family, told in Francesco Munzi’s movie. The Rome-native director and screenwriter, born 1969, focused “Anime Nere” on three brothers, sons of a shepherd, close to the ‘Ndrangheta, and tells their soul split. The film – starring Marco Leonardi, Peppino Mazzotta, Fabrizio Ferracane, Barbora Bobulova and Anna Ferruzzo – makes its debut in Spain, with a preview scheduled for Wednesday, March 25 at 8pm at the Italian Institute of Culture in Madrid, who organized the screening in collaboration with Betta Pictures. Freely adapted from the eponymous book by Gioacchino Criaco (who in 2008 inaugurated the Calabria noir genre), “Anime Nere” was released in 2014, competing at the 71st Venice Film Festival. Distributed in Italy in September by Good Films, the film will narrate to the Spanish public a land where the laws of the blood and the feeling of revenge can still get the best of everything.
