Libanese has a dream: to conquer Rome. To accomplish this unprecedented feat, he sets up a ruthless and organized gang. The evolution of the gang and alternation of its leaders (il Libanese, il Freddo, and Dandi) develop over twenty-five years, intertwining in an indissoluble way with the dark history of Italy’s Mafia killings, terrorist bombings and state conspiracies. A crime drama based on the eponymous novel by Giancarlo De Cataldo.
This free film event is presented by Hyde Park Picture House, Leeds Cineforum, Welcome 2 Italian Language and the University of Leeds. It is the third of a three part series called Parole e immagini: A journey in Italian film inspired by literature, which was launched at Leeds Lit Fest.
