[I PREDATORI]

U.S. Premiere.

Actor-turned-director Pietro Castellitto's (TWICE BORN) darkly hilarious feature debut, in which he also stars, explores — and pokes delicious fun at — the various absurd dramas of two very different Rome-based families: the working-class Vismaras, a family with fascist leanings and connections to the local mafia; and the bourgeoisie Pavones, a family of privileged and disconnected intellectuals who are absorbed by petty rivalries. When a couple of incidents set their disparate worlds on a path to collision, a series of unfortunate and grotesque events ensue, involving the unstable young intellectual Federico Pavone (Castellitto), his arrogant doctor father Pierpaolo (Massimo Popolizio, IL DIVO, THE GREAT BEAUTY) and self-absorbed director mother Ludovica (Manuela Mandracchia, SWEET DREAMS, WE HAVE A POPE), plus cocky gun shop employee Claudio Vismara (Giorgio Montanini, PARTLY CLOUDY WITH SUNNY SPELLS), his oafish brother Carlo (Claudio Camilli, THE END?) and their overbearing uncle Flavio (Antonio Gerardi, TUTTO QUELLO CHE VUOI). Castellitto's relentlessly entertaining, fresh and fast-paced black comedy confirms that we are all predators in one way or another. Winner, Best Screenplay, 2020 Venice Film Festival. Official Selection, Rome and Busan film festivals.
