Tommaso

Playing opposite the director's own wife and daughter, Willem Dafoe is a Ferrara-like American artist living in Rome in this improvised drama of doubt and disconnection, shot in a self-reflective documentary style. Lurching between anger and joy, Tommaso's conflicted day to day life engages us in an emotional turmoil making it difficult to answer the ultimate question:Where do our sympathies lay?

Abel Ferrara

Born in New York in 1951, Abel Ferrara is an American filmmaker, known for the provocative and often controversial content of his films, his use of neo-noir imagery and gritty urban settings. He maintains a cult reputation that allows him to navigate between large-budget features and decadent B-movie-style tales. A long-time independent filmmaker, his best-known films include Ms .45 (1981), King of New York (1990), Bad Lieutenant (1992), The Funeral (1996) and Pasolini (2014). Abel Ferrara has been a guest of LEFFEST several times, and his work was screened in a Retrospective at LEFFEST’ 17. He returns this year to the festival to present his new film Padre Pio.
