About Giovanni Falcone
The story of the first ever "anti-mafia judges pool" established in the '80s at the Palermo Courthouse, in Sicily, in the '80s, while two mafia families started a 10-year-long war to obtain the complete control of smuggles.
Directed by Giuseppe Ferrara, Giovanni Falcone leans on a strong ensemble — Michele Placido, Anna Bonaiuto, Massimo Bonetti — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1993.
