About Malarazza: una storia di periferia
Rosaria is a young mother, wife of Tommasino Malarazza, downfallen boss of a famous Mafia family in Catania. Forced to marry him because she was pregnant, Rosaria is humiliated everyday by a violent husband, who spends his days drinking and gambling. The woman lives in fear and keeps her head down to protect her son Antonino. She can only rely on her queer brother Franco.
Directed by Giovanni Virgiliio, Malarazza: una storia di periferia leans on a strong ensemble — Stella Egitto, Paolo Briguglia, David Coco — 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 drama titles of 2017.

Carlo and Elisa are a successful couple. He’s a university professor and writer facing a creative block; she’s a brilliant, sharp-witted journalist, known for her internationally published editorials. They live in Rome, moving between accomplishments and routine, affection and something that might be fading. In search of new energy, they travel to Morocco with their lifelong friends, Anna and Paolo, and their thirteen-year-old daughter Vittoria—bright, curious, a little eccentric. Tensions soon rise.

2020 6.7
In a small suburb on the outskirts of Rome, the cheerful heat of summer camouflages a stifling atmosphere of alienation. From a distance, the families seem normal, but it’s an illusion: in the houses, courtyards and gardens, silence shrouds the subtle sadism of the fathers, the passivity of the mothers and the guilty indifference of adults. But it’s the desperation and repressed rage of the children that will explode and cut through this grotesque façade, with devastating consequences for the entire community.
