Mafioso - Criterion Collection

In Alberto Lattuada s brilliant dark comedy MAFIOSO, auto-factory foreman Nino (Alberto Sordi) takes his proper, modern wife (Norma Bengell) and two blonde daughters from industrial Milan to antiquated rural Sicily to visit his family and get back in touch with his roots. But Antonio gets more than he bargained for when he discovers some harsh truths about his ancestors and himself. The first Italian film to dramatize the modern mafia, Lattuada s devastatingly funny character study is equal parts culture-clash farce and existential nightmare.Special Features* - New, restored high-definition digital transfer* - A 1996 interview with director Alberto Lattuada by filmmaker Daniele Luchetti* - New video interviews with the director's son, Alessandro Lattuada, and wife, actress Carla Del Poggio (Variety Lights) * - Italian and U.S. theatrical trailers * - Stills gallery of promotional caricatures by artist Keiko Kimura New and improved English subtitle translation
