Country: Italy
Director: Marco Bellocchio
Cast: Pierfrancesco Favino, Maria Fernanda Cândido, Fabrizio Ferracane, Fausto Russo Alesi & Luigi Lo Cascio.
The story opens with a meeting of two rival Sicilian families to avoid a war between them. Buscetta who is tired of his life of crime leaves Palermo for Brazil. Unfortunately, he was arrested by the Brazilian police for trafficking drugs.
Based on the real-life story of Tommaso Buscetta, it's hard to remember all the names that keep coming in the story. Bellocchio took his time to settle down with the characters and he uses a straightforward narrative in this film. Pierfrancesco Favino performance as Buscetta is highly credible and extremely watchable. This is the same guy who played Clay Regazzoni in Rush (2013) and still remember his all night - all day dialogue. The courtroom scenes were brilliantly managed by the director and the way convicts ignore the judge’s warnings clearly indicates how powerful they all think of themselves. The Traitor is selected as the official Italian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards. Overall, It's a 145 minute-long film and the trial section makes the movie a compelling one.
Verdict: Good
