Sicilian Ghost Story (2017)
Country: IT/FR/SW
Technical: col/2.35:1 122m
Director: Fabio Grassadonia, Antonio Piazza
Cast: Julia Jedlikowska, Gaetano Fernandez
Synopsis:
In a Sicilian town a boy is kidnapped by the Mafia because his father has turned canary, but with the police tainted by corruption there is little his girlfriend can do but stand by and watch.
Review:
This extraordinary film parts company with the standard hostage drama by spending much of its time inside the imagination of the teenage girl, or in supernatural parentheses. The directors use the solace of contact after death to sweeten the pill of the horror of what actually happened to this boy in the 1990s.
