The Place Theatre, Bedford

Bedford Players Trust present Film Night: A Sicilian Ghost Story (2017) Directors: Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza 19th September at 7:00pm (Wednesday) Certificate: TBC Running time: 122mins

Set in a little Sicilian village at the edge of a forest, this is the story of adolescent innocence and painful reality. Giuseppe (Fernandez) is the son of a man with mafia connections who has turned informer.

One day, this 13 year-old boy vanishes, kidnapped by those his father crossed. Luna (Jedlikowska), his classmate who loves him, refuses to accept his mysterious disappearance. She and her friend Loredana (Corinne Musallari) petition the townsfolk to find him but to no avail. Rebelling against the code of silence and collusion that surrounds her, Luna refuses to give up her search, desperate to find the boy she so bashfully loves.

Co-directors Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazzas superb follow-up to 2013s Critics Week prizewinner Salvo evocatively interweaves the richness of fairy tales with the obscenity of Mafia control. Variety 2017
