But one day everything changes and Giulia finds herself having to face the track and life alone. To complicate the situation, the unexpected return of his brother Loris, a former driver by now totally unreliable, but with an extraordinary sixth sense for driving.

(2019 | 92 minutes | Italian with English Subtitles)įM+ EXCLUSIVE: ITALIAN RACE (OPEN ROADS 2017) Ravishingly lensed by Carlo Rinaldi, buoyed by an inspired ensemble cast, and as insightful as it is gleefully brazen, The Predators plumbs the absurd for harsh, hilarious truths about latter-day social stratification. Pietro Castellitto’s black comedy takes aim at class antagonism in contemporary Italy, with a vast network of characters-an assistant professor obsessed with the mystery of Nietzsche’s virginity (Castellitto) his father, a philandering doctor (Massimo Popolizio) his filmmaker mother (Manuela Mandracchia) a brash gun-shop clerk (Giorgio Montanini) and many others-flailing about and generally messing with each other in an inept world of schemes that seldom pan out. Sensual, poetic, dark, and gothic, eclipses Twilight in every aspect.” (2019 | 96 minutes)įM+ EXCLUSIVE: THE PREDATORS (OPEN ROADS 2021)
