About Band of Bastards
The story takes place in 1943 between Russia and Italy, both committed, albeit with different characteristics, in the bloody war. In Sibilevo, in western Russia, a group of soldiers of the Royal Army led by Captain Lorenzo Vitale, discovers that the Nazi allies have committed an infamous massacre inside a disused factory. The military would like to report the incident to their superiors but they don’t know that many things are changing in Italy. By order of Vittorio Emanuele III, Mussolini is arrested and Marshal Badoglio signed an armistice with the Anglo-American troops, decreeing in fact the end of the alliance with the Germans...
Directed by Mario Salieri, Band of Bastards leans on a strong ensemble — Mandy Dee, Margareth Buster, Michelle Soleil — 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 screen titles of 2011.
