Marco Bellocchio’s latest film The Traitor is set to receive the first major prize at the 2019 Capri, Hollywood International Film Festival. The mafia story will be honored with the best international feature film award at the fest, which takes place annually off the coast of Naples.
The Traitor, which debuted in Cannes this year, tells the true-life story of Tommaso Buscetta, Sicily’s first mafia turncoat, in the 1980s. It has won seven Italian film Silver Ribbon awards and two Italian Golden Globes, and is nominated in multiple European Film Awards categories including best film, actor, director and screenwriter.
