‘Sicilian Letters’: First Trailer for Venice Competition Title Starring Toni Servillo (Exclusive) | News

Screen can reveal the first trailer for the mafia drama Sicilian letters prior to its world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival.

It is the third film by directors Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza (after Salvo in 2013 and Sicilian ghost story in 2017) and the duo’s first performance in Venice.

Titled Iddu home (‘God’ in Sicilian dialect) is their latest feature film inspired by the story of fugitive mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro.

Elio Germano plays the godfather in hiding, with Toni Servillo as the small-time local politician who became his pen pal.

The Italian-French co-production is a collaboration between Indigo Film and Rai Cinema, with Les Films du Losange handling worldwide sales.
