The Mafia Is No Longer What It Used to Be
The provocative and complex latest from Franco Maresco is an investigation on the streets of Palermo into the legacies of two anti-Mafia judges assassinated in the early 1990s.
The Mafia Is No Longer What It Used to Be screens virtually nationwide from 5/30 to 6/4.
The latest from Franco Maresco (Belluscone: A Sicilian Story, 2014) takes as its point of departure the 25th anniversary of the assassination of anti-Mafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino during the Capaci and Via D’Amelio bombings, hitting the pavement in Palermo to see what its residents think of the two martyred magistrates. This investigation soon spins out into an often satirical yet dogged examination of popular complacency over the Cosa Nostra’s enduring hold on some part of the national psyche.
