Francesco Munzi – director – Black Souls (Anime Nere)
FRED’s Cristiana Palmieri interviews Francesco Munzi, director of the film Black Souls (Anime Nere), featured in the official competition of the 2015 Sydney Film Festival. Director Francesco Munzi talks about Black Souls, a contemporary drama that ticks all the boxes of the Greek tragedy and its archetypes.
BLACK SOULS (ANIME NERE):Black Souls follows three brothers from a Calabrese crime family faced with a crisis and no easy resolution. Calabria’s mafia, the ‘Ndrangheta, is on the background of this powerful tale of morality and the challenges of breaking cycles of crime and violence.
Evocatively capturing both the moral and physical decay of Calabria, Black Souls is an intelligent and bracing crime film.
